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.

Big, bold and racy, this Cabernet Sauvignon has a dense purple, almost opaque hue and offers up an electrifying bouquet dark red, blue and black fruits with notes of tobacco leaf, graphite and spicy oak. Opulent and layered it flexes its power but is framed by refreshing acidity with silky, sweet tannins. The 2021 displays loads of potential for being enjoyed in its youth, while also rewarding patience over the following decade. For bang for your buck, you can’t find better, or as Robb Report states, “Royal Prince is making the best wines you can buy for your money right now.”
Review:
Made by Maayan Koschitzky (of Atelier Philippe Melka), the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is all varietal brought up in French oak. Its deeper ruby/plum hue is followed by a classic Cabernet Sauvignon nose of cassis and black cherries supported by plenty of sappy herbs, graphite, and obvious minerality. This medium-bodied, lively, elegant Cabernet has ripe, building tannins, a good spine of acidity, and outstanding length. Drink this classic, impeccably made 2021 over the coming 10–12 years, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it evolve longer. (Jeb Dunnuck)
