Tasting notes

Pale straw yellow with a fine, bright perlage. Aromatic, with honey, rose, linden and acacia blossom and a hint of bread crust and yeast. Sweet and full, with enough acidity to avoid cloying.

Pairs well with

Desserts of the Piedmontese tradition: zabaglione, chocolate bunet and dry pastry; also as an aperitif and a drink.
