Fio is Portuguese word for ‘wire’ or ‘thread’ and this wine is the connection, bringing the practice and the philosophy of the winery together in its fullest form. Marco says, “In 2012 we visited Ganevat, and he showed us a wine ten years on the lees and without any disturbance. It was a perfect wine. He is just bottling wines when they are ready.” This is a Jura style Mosel wine with low PH soils, like in the Jura, and aging in the barrel for a long time. Minimum of two years on the lees and sometimes three or four years before racking and is kept topped up. Aged in bottle for a minimum of two years before release.
