This is a really interesting white wine from southern Italy. It is 100% Fiano grapes. They are vinified in buried amphora lined with beeswax with their skins. They are then aged for a time in wood barrels before being bottled. Light golden in color with a touch of deeper hues. The nose is different with dried flowers, some earthiness, and a bit of lemony notes. Light to medium bodied. On the palate, this has a round mouthfeel but good acidity. Lemony notes with a bit of funk. Long finish. This would be excellent with most fresh seafoods. As for ageing, it should go another few years, but sooner than later is safer. It might not be for everyone, as skin contact whites wines can be a bit "disorienting".
