The Chalmers familys commitment to innovation and excellence has made them a pivotal force in the Australian wine scene for more than 20 years. Their work in the field of alternative, particularly southern Italian, varietals has contributed a lot to the growth and success of this movement in recent years. This Fiano melds delicate stone fruits and almond blossom with savoury lees contact characters and minerality, displaying texture and power in the mouth whilst retaining a fine, fresh finish.

Arneis, a crisp, crunchy, spicy Italian white originating from Piedmont, Italy, traditionally made without oak. Dal Zotto are owned and managed by the Dal Zotto family where their vineyards, winery and cellar door lie cradled in the tranquil King Valley in the foothills of the spectacular Victorian Alps of northeast Victoria. Their Arneis shows all the trademark lifted aromatics and crunchy acidity of its Italian cousins. Enjoy with great company and a plate of seared scallops.

This Fiano is intensely flavoured and aromatic. The nose is of home grown apricots, lifted with hints of florals, citrus and nectarine. Firm acid frames the fruit giving presence and depth. Chalky minerality is underlain with a dash of honey and spice to finish. A beautiful bright and textural wine, with great length. This Fiano matches well with Italian dishes and seafood.

Lifted tropical aromas of nectarine and nutty preserved lemon scents. Textural with mouthfeel. Fermented in old oak, fresh, dry and savoury.

Monte dei Cocci Fiano Minutolo is the result of traditional winemaking with a modern approach. The fruit is from the heart of Itria Valley in Puglia, grown at 450 metres. The Fiano Minutolo grape is highly aromatic and the wine produced displays flavours and aromas of flowers and sweet herbs with fresh yellow fruit. Highly enjoyable as an aperitive, and perfect with light dishes.

The Fiano comes from two vineyards in McLaren Vale grown by Ben Lacey. One in the Tatachilla sub region of southern McLaren Vale. Only a few kilometres from the sea and almost at sea level, it is a cool maritime influenced area of the Vale. Sandy loam over a shattered limestone base, scattered with ironstone fragments. This parcel was fermented in stainless steel, using a combination of natural and mixed culture yeasts. The second vineyard is in the Northern and high-altitude region of Seaview in McLaren Vale, with thin red loam over a solid limestone geology. The grapes were harvested with a selective harvester and tipped straight into an open fermenters as whole berries. Fermentation was allowed to occur naturally and then later over seeded with aromatic yeast. The ferment was allowed to tick away slowly for approx. 3 weeks. The final blend was 60% cold tank ferment, 40% full skin contact for three weeks.

The 2024 Pizzini La Famiglia Arneis from the renowned King Valley in Victoria is a true gem. With its pale straw color and hints of green, this wine is immediately alluring. On the nose, delicate aromas of white peach, citrus, and honeysuckle blend perfectly with subtle notes of almond and honey. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and refreshing, with a medium body and crisp acidity. Flavors of juicy pear, lemon zest, and a touch of minerality dance on the tongue, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This vintage truly captures the essence of the Arneis grape, showcasing the pure fruit flavors and elegance this variety is known for. Enjoy this wine with seafood dishes or on its own as an aperitif. Cheers to the Pizzini family for another exceptional vintage!
