Description

Yet another impressive Fiano release from La Prova, proving itself great variety for SA.

Winemaker Sam Scott has got a great nose for a good vineyard. When he came across Caj and Genny Amadio's vineyard in Kersbrook, his spidey-senses were tingling.

"It is a great site for the southern Italian varieties where the warm to hot days are tempered by the cooler nights."
- Sam Scott (La Prova Wines)

This Fiano was crushed before fermenting to extract maximum juice then left on, what Sam refers to as "fluffy lees". It makes a tantalisingly textured palate with a savoury finish.

Fiano epitomises all the things we love about Italian grape varieties: super delicious, aromatic but with a lovely subtlety, textural with a little bit of grip to the finish, and versatile in the vineyard across the extremes of different grape growing seasons. Pronounceable too!

Climate | Diverse but largely cooler due to elevation.

Season |The 2023 growing season was mild and cool, which added a little citrus and finesse to the usual Fiano pithy goodness, with regular rainfall. It started late, finished late and the grapes had lots of hang time and light yields.

Source | This ancient Campanian variety loves the warm sunny days and cool nights of Kersbrook in the northern Adelaide Hills, with the addition of a new, more elevated, close planted Woodside vineyard in 2022.

Winemaking | 58% was fermented in tank with fluffy lees after partial settling, giving us bright fruit, and 42% was barrel fermented in old French oak for a delicious textural component, including a mixture of wild ferment on full solids and then the balance with partially settled juice. Vegan friendly.

La Prova

Sam Scott is an excellent guy and a supremely talented winemaker with a clear vision for his La Prova label. Sam aims to make a tastefully packaged range of Australian-grown Italian varieties and deliver them at tremendous value for money. Sounds good to us!

Over a couple of decades making wine in South Australia, Sam has identified his favourite vineyards through Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley and Langhorne Creek where these emerging varieties are best suited to grow and thrive.

The wines he crafts from these vineyards are vibrant and fruit-forward but with a savoury twist and great varietal character. Bang-for-your-buck-wise, the range is up there with the best in the country.

James Halliday once noted, “Scott is a star in the making.” It's fair to say, that star has fully arrived.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
