## Summary

A passito dessert wine made from dried Arneis grapes, aged 18 to 24 months in French oak barrique and bottled in half bottles.

## Tasting notes

The drying process gives honey and saffron notes, pleasant on both nose and palate. Sweet but not cloying, thanks to a low sugar level.

## Food pairings

Excellent with both fresh and aged cheeses and dry pastries.
