FIOL is a mindset and an approach to life. In the Venetian dialect, fiol is an ancient word that means son but is now commonly used to refer to a friend within a group who stands out—a natural leader that everyone admires, and lives life to the fullest.
FIOL is produced using the Charmat method, which is widely associated with the Prosecco region. The nature of this method creates the perfect bubbly sensation throughout the mouthfeel.
FIOL is passionate about art in all its forms, and its bespoke bottle and label design is a work of art in itself. Every element of the label design encapsulates the elegance and charm of Italy with its one-of-a-kind black and white label. The FIOL logo adorned on the bottle was inspired by the vine poles created to support the plant, showcasing symbols of strength and tradition.
This extra dry Prosecco is made using 100% Glera grapes and offers a light golden expression with notes of wisteria flowers, acacia, and tangy mature crab apple.
Extra Dry refers to a medium dry wine that offers a hint of sweetness. It is different from a Dry Wine as Dry Wines offer medium levels of sweetness. Brut offers no sweetness and is dry to your taste.
