Tasting notes

Colour: bright straw yellow with greenish reflections

Bouquet: fine and extremely intense aromas, reminiscent of vegetables, spring peas, finely cut grass and tomato leaves – typical of the varietal – are beautifully blended with scents grapefruit, peach and litchi

Taste: Great sapidity and structure give this wine a nice drinkability as well as a surprising aeging potential

Food pairing

An ideal companion to hors d'oeuvre, seafood and fresh spring salads. Thanks to its structure and complexity it's great also with white meat, grilled vegetables and minestrone
