Fionda 2021 Tenuta l’Armonia

Fionda 2021

An orange wine with a strong identity

Fionda 2021 was born as part of Tenuta l’Armonia’s LAB project to explore depth and texture in macerated white wines. It is made from 90% Falanghina and 10% Aglianico vinified as white, sourced from 25-year-old vines located in Torrecuso, Benevento. The blend balances the maturity and richness of Falanghina with the freshness and acidity of Aglianico, resulting in a wine with a firm and natural character.

Vineyard philosophy

The grapes grow on sandy-marly siliceous soils, which add minerality and depth. The Falanghina is harvested at full ripeness with a pH of around 3.4 to express complex aromas and structure. The Aglianico is picked slightly earlier to contribute acidity and verticality. Manual harvesting ensures only perfect bunches are selected, preserving the vineyard’s integrity.

Winery approach

In the cellar, the lower pH from the Aglianico enables an extended skin maceration, lasting 8 months in terracotta amphorae, allowing the wine to develop naturally without invasive intervention. Amphora aging provides gentle micro-oxygenation, preserves varietal character and avoids any filtration or fining.

Tasting notes

Color: Deep golden yellow with amber reflections, bright and dense.
Nose: Complex aromas of ripe yellow fruit, herbal notes, resin and a hint of elegant oxidative tones.
Palate: Full-bodied, saline and deep, with fine tannins, lively acidity and a long, mineral finish.

Ideal pairings

Fionda 2021 pairs beautifully with flavorful, structured dishes: seafood with shellfish, semi-aged cheeses, rich risottos and spiced white meats. Serve at 12–14 °C, with proper aeration to fully express its layers.

Tenuta l’Armonia – History

The story of Tenuta l’Armonia began in 2010 on the volcanic hills of Vicenza, in Contrà Scaranto. Founded by Andrea Pedrin, a self-taught “Wine Chef” trained between France and Italy, the winery was born from the desire to unite agriculture, culture, and creativity. From the start, Andrea focused on native grape varieties grown on volcanic soils, aiming to express each terroir through unique blends and cuvées. A young and dynamic team supports him, helping shape an evolving approach that combines local tradition and innovation.

Vineyard Philosophy

Tenuta l’Armonia practices organic and regenerative agriculture, completely free of synthetic chemicals. Some vines are up to 35–40 years old and grow on three distinct types of volcanic soil. Native grape varieties are at the core of the project, enhancing the authenticity of each wine. In the vineyard, all interventions respect natural rhythms and promote harmony between soil and plant. This sustainable vision ensures the long-term health of the vines and the expressive character of the wines.

Winemaking Approach

In the cellar, Tenuta l’Armonia follows a fully artisanal and natural approach. No selected yeasts, fining agents, or stabilizers are used. Sulfites are kept to a minimum and only added when absolutely necessary. The winemaking process is designed to preserve energy, freshness, and balance. The winery experiments with different vessels—amphorae, large barrels, concrete tanks, and wood—to achieve expressive, site-driven wines. Each vintage is handled differently to reflect the uniqueness of the season and the vineyard.

Vision & Territory

The volcanic soils of Montecchio Maggiore offer rare geological features that profoundly shape the vines and the wines. Tenuta l’Armonia seeks to express this uniqueness by working closely with native grapes and allowing the territory to speak for itself. Andrea has also developed an integrated agricultural project, which includes 10 hectares of olive groves and vegetable gardens. The estate regularly hosts workshops that connect gastronomy, wine, and artisanal farming. Living “in harmony” here means creating social, cultural, and environmental value through wine.
