Il Piano is often where our season begins.
Bright, detailed and quietly confident, this McLaren Vale Fiano shows why the variety suits Smidge so well. It is fragrant, finely textured and mouthwatering, with freshness up front and enough shape to hold the palate properly.
If you are new to Smidge, Il Piano is a very good place to begin. It shows the lighter, more precise side of the range while still carrying the same care, detail and sense of place that run through all of our wines.
In the glass
Green pear, apricot and citrus, with a fine line of acidity and a long, refreshing finish.
Why we like it
This is a wine with energy and detail. It works as an aperitif, but it also has enough texture to sit comfortably at the table.
Drink it with
Seafood, simple pasta, roast chicken, salty cheeses, or a warm evening that calls for something bright and properly made.
When to open it
Drink now for freshness and detail, or cellar confidently to 2031.

Elegantly fragrant, with green pear, apricot, lemon sorbet and oatmeal on the nose. Brilliantly focused and linear, with refined texture, racy acidity and an impressively long, mouthwatering finish.
