The Fiano Puglia IGP - Calaluna Paolo Leo is a white wine that embodies the essence of the Apulian territory, renowned for its ability to produce high-quality wines. This Fiano stands out for its elegance, freshness, and aromaticity, the result of a meticulous selection of grapes and winemaking techniques that respect the local winemaking tradition.

Hailing from the green countryside of Apulia, this wine is produced with 100% Fiano grapes, an indigenous variety that has perfectly adapted to the Mediterranean climate of the region. The harvest usually takes place in the early days of October, when the grapes reach the perfect balance of acidity and sugars, ensuring an ideal fermentation.

On the nose, the Fiano Puglia IGP - Calaluna by Paolo Leo reveals floral and fruity notes, with predominant accents of citrus, green apple, and a delicate touch of almond. On the palate, freshness is the dominant feature, accompanied by an extraordinary minerality and an elegant structure, making it an ideal companion for a variety of dishes, from light appetizers to fish and seafood dishes.

The color is a light straw yellow with greenish reflections, a sign of youth and freshness. The wine briefly ages in steel before being bottled, thus preserving all its aromatic and gustatory qualities.

The Fiano Puglia IGP - Calaluna by Paolo Leo is therefore a pure expression of the Apulian territory, a wine that knows how to offer unique sensory emotions, suitable for those seeking delicate yet persistent nuances in a white wine. Perfect to serve at a temperature of 8-10°C, it is recommended to enjoy it young to best appreciate its freshness and aromatic intensity.
