Mandrarossa's single-vineyard Fiano from the Terre di Giumara estate shows the variety's characteristic nutty-mineral quality from Menfi's calcareous-clay soils close to the Mediterranean coast.

What it pairs with

  • Fried calamari with aioli
    Almond-mineral notes and high acidity complement deep-fried squid with garlic sauce.
  • Pasta con le sarde and fennel
    Fiano's nutty mineral register works with fennel and sardine pasta.
  • Grilled langoustines
    Stone-fruit richness and mineral acidity are the natural Fiano pairing for grilled shellfish.
