Equinox 2017 Brut Ultra Fiano Cuvée Sparkling (Santa Clara Valley)
Editors' Choice
Fiano is starting to become slightly more popular in California, but sparkling Fiano remains a complete anomaly. As this bottling reveals, it works, starting with aromas of orange rind, corn bread, dried white flower and rust. The palate packs dried pear and mellow mango flavors into the foamy mousse.
