Fantini, Edizione Tre Autoctoni Bianco 2023 White

Fantini’s Edizione Tre Autoctoni Bianco 2023 is a characterful white blend from Abruzzo that brings together three native Italian grapes - Pecorino, Fiano, and Grillo - in a single, expressive wine. Hand-harvested at perfect ripeness and vinified separately to preserve each variety’s identity, it offers a polished mix of freshness, texture, and aromatic complexity that reflects Fantini’s modern take on Italy’s indigenous grapes.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this white shows a bright, lively appearance with a fresh and inviting character. The nose is layered and exotic, opening with mango, papaya, lime, and red grapefruit, then moving into more herbal tones of lemongrass, lemon balm, mint, and green tea. On the palate, it should feel rich yet balanced, with juicy citrus and tropical fruit framed by a clean, herbal edge and a thoughtful mineral freshness. The separate fermentations - Pecorino in large 50 hl un-oaked barrels and Fiano and Grillo in stainless steel - suggest a wine with both texture and precision. It is likely best enjoyed young for its aromatic intensity, though its structure should give it a little cellaring potential.

Production
The grapes for this wine come from Abruzzo and are harvested by hand when fully ripe, ensuring each variety enters the cellar at its best. After gentle pressing, the fruit undergoes 12 hours of cold maceration before pressing, helping to build aromatic depth while keeping the style fresh and precise. Vinification is carried out separately by grape: Pecorino in large 50 hl un-oaked casks, and Fiano and Grillo in stainless steel tanks, a method that balances roundness with purity and highlights the individual strengths of each variety.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine that works beautifully with grilled fish, shellfish, seafood pasta, risotto with herbs, sushi, and lighter poultry dishes. It also pairs well with Mediterranean salads, soft cheeses, and vegetable-based starters. Serve chilled, ideally around 8-10°C, and decanting is not necessary.
