“SEQUOIA” FIANO di AVELLINO RISERVA DOCG 2020 FONZONE

After being harvested, the grapes that will undergo different
macerations: the first three in stainless steel and the fourth in
wood. Maceration of the first batch lasts 12 hours, the second
three days, the third skips maceration, and the fourth undergoes
maceration and aging in large, lightly toasted French oak barrels
where the must remains for about 12 months. Subsequently, the
four batches are blended in stainless steel tanks where they
continue aging for 6 months under yeast. Characterized by rich
green hues, the nose offers a sophisticated, complex bouquet:
notes of jasmine, raw hazelnut, blanched almonds, mandarin peel
and a hint of sweetness reminiscent of vanilla, along with
overtones of fresh tropical fruit that arise distinctly on the palate.
Sequoia is a full-flavored wine whose well-structured body lends
great depth. This youthful wine is only mildly tannic; notes of fresh
apple is revealed on the back palate, followed by a hint of citrus
on the finish.
