Rugiada

2010 California Fiano

The Rugiada Winery Rugiada is a delightful expression of Fiano from California, showcasing an enchanting pale golden hue that invites the eye. This 2010 vintage is medium-bodied and well-balanced, exhibiting a vibrant acidity that adds a refreshing lift to each sip, making it mouthwatering and invigorating. The fruit intensity is prominently expressive, featuring enticing notes of ripe pear, stone fruit, and hints of citrus that dance elegantly on the palate. This wine reveals a rounded profile with mild dryness, which makes it an incredibly versatile choice for various culinary pairings, from seafood to light pasta dishes. The overall experience is beautifully structured and highlights the rich potential of this lesser-known varietal in the sunny California vineyards.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
