"Florida" Jim Cowan is doing some really interesting things with Italian (and other) varietals and at fair prices. This is one of his more straightforward white wines. Made from the Fiano grape more typically found in Campagna, Italy. Light green gold in color. The nose is nice with almonds and a nice salinity to it. On the palate, this is medium bodied but a rounder fuller texture. Not quite the acidity of the Italian versions, but still enough to work with food. It has a quality that is almost like a non-oxidized sherry in a good way. Easy drinking but still with some depth. Nice finish. Drink a bit colder to increase the acidity. Around $20, this is a great value. If it is not available in your market, sign up for the e-mails from the web site.
