## Tasting notes

Delicate and persistent perlage, intense straw yellow colour with golden highlights. Very expressive bouquet of rusks and citrus, complex and vibrant on the palate with extraordinary freshness and persistence.

## Food pairings

Perfect throughout the meal, and expresses itself best with snails and truffle-based dishes.
