Zrození Comety
V devadesátých letech 20. století začaly ve vinařství experimenty se starobylou ušlechtilou odrůdou Fiano pocházející původně z Kampánie. Tato odrůda poskytuje bohatá, intenzivní a ovocná aromata, mohutná struktura těla a jemná mineralita dělá z toto vína právem velké italské bílé víno.
A great white wine from southern Italian grapes, able to compare with the world’s great white wines; this was the initial project. Thus in the 1990’s began the experiments with Fiano, an ancient noble variety from Campania. And so Cometa was born, expressing the best in an original and unique way, of the characteristics of this extraordinary vine. Intense and fruity aromas, its great structure and minerals today make it one of southern Italy’s points of reference for white wine.

TASTING NOTES: A single-variety Fiano from lime-chalk soils which contribute to the enhancement of the aromatic markers of Mediterranean macchia owned by this vine. Thus, between broom flowers and thyme, the delicate aromas of chamomile, hay and mango and pomelo can also be savoured. A mineral palate with vibrantly savoury traces which quiver and quench. Then the rhythm changes to become slower and more harmonious, an invitation to sip this outstanding white wine with the correct quietude enjoying its every change of tone. The finish presents a silky tactile sensation with a refined aftertaste of ripe apricot, of almond flowers and basil flowers.
MATCHING: With no fear of being banal, with some freshly caught and grilled snapper.
