L’Archetipo is the family estate of Francesco Dibenedetto in Puglia, where the family has spent decades moving away from conventional agriculture towards organic and biodynamic farming. Their philosophy centres on healthy soils, biodiversity and minimal intervention, producing wines that feel distinctly connected to the warm Mediterranean landscape of southern Italy.

Their Fiano comes from vineyards in Salento and offers a wonderfully expressive take on the variety. Fermentation is carried out naturally, with a gentle approach in the cellar designed to preserve freshness and the natural character of the fruit.

Ripe pear, yellow apple and citrus open into white flowers, Mediterranean herbs and a subtle saline character. The palate has lovely texture and weight, balanced by fresh acidity and a mineral, slightly savoury finish. Generous enough to reflect its southern origins, but with plenty of energy keeping everything in balance.
