Masso Antico Salento IGT Fiano 2020 Generous

I've been enjoying the Masso Antico Salento Fiano over this cold winter, it has a richness that I find enjoyable and this comes from the fact they partially dry the grapes before fermentation. This concentrates the flavours and sugars and it works for me. Masso Antico Salento smells of classic Fiano, tropical, citrus, and almond. The palate, as stated, has a richness of fruit, but the phenolic punch keeps it from being fat or oily. I found Masso Antico Salento is better on the second night, so don't be afraid to decant this wine. Drink it now(ish) and enjoy it at cellar temperature. Tenute Masso Antico make modern wines from classic Puglian grapes. They use the parent company's experience to make sure the wines are full of flavour and of consistent quality.
