Fiano
Filter
Fiano refers to a variety of a white wine grape type grown in southern Italy. Fiano grows typically in the region of Campania, although it also is cultivated in Sicily. In the region where the grape type is dominant, the wines crafted are strong white wines. Fiano is said to have been used in Rome and has a rich history in the region. The ancient Roman wine Apianum is said to have been crafted from the Fiano grape, and some wine bottles today feature the term “Apianum” on the label. Fiano is labeled as a classic grape variety of the region and the variety may have even been grown by the Greeks. The Fiano variety is typically small in size and has thick skin, thus producing a little bit of juice. Since the vines do not produce high yields, the variety is not seen as a very economical vine to grow. For the last several centuries, the variety has been on a decline; however, more wine growers in the region have invested in modern winemaking. This has resulted in an interest to revive some classic grape types that are native to the region. The Fiano grape has also been cultivated in Australia and Argentina.

Enemigo El Enemigo Gran Enemigo is made from 100% Cabernet Franc.
In the spectrum of people who pay attention to detail, winemakers are often incredibly detail-oriented. This can sometimes spill over to become an internal battled, and, as Alejandro Vigil and Adrianna Catena state, "We are our own worst enemy." El Enemigo pays homage to this internal struggle.
The nose presents sweet aromas of black ripen fruits with hints of vanilla and chocolate, which appear after the oak ageing. The mouthfeel is sweet with structured, persistent tannins due to the natural acidity of this wine, leading into an excellent long finish.
Review:
The nose of the 2018 Gran Enemigo El Cepillo Single Vineyard, from a low-yielding and drier year, is full of curry, a note that was a constant across the three vintages I tasted together, but it tends to be stronger in low-yielding and dry years like this. It's also floral and comes through as aromatic and a little exotic, in a good way, with elegance, persistence and very pure flavors. It has fine-grained tannins, great acidity and balance. 7,200 bottles. All these single-vineyard bottlings mature in ancient 4,000-liter oak foudres for some 15 months.
-Wine Advocate 97 Points"Pretty and inviting on the nose with gorgeous aromas of floral violet, cassis and completed with a lifted, delicate liquorice note. The palate is graced with deep herb, pepper, crunchy red fruit and graceful, silky tannins."

Luis XIV Brisat Orange Wine is made from 100% Merseguera.
Produced from old vines Marseguera (Gobelet / bush vines) with no irrigation and planted at 540 meters of altitude.
Intense yellow color, with orange reflections. On the nose it is very intense, with floral and fruity sensations reminiscent of a Mediterranean garden. In the mouth it has good tension, with medium tannins and very persistent aromas. Fine tannins.
It is a very intense white wine, which perfectly accompanies meat or fish-based rice dishes from Alicante, as well as different stews and seafood tapas.
