Ridaroca Langhe Nascetta

Langhe DOC Nascetta, 100% Nascetta, aged on fine lees until mid-March, 12 to 14% alcohol depending on vintage.

Tasting notes

Straw yellow with greenish reflections. Elegant, pleasant nose with fresh floral notes typical of Nascetta alternating with more sulphurous sensations, for a complex aroma. Delicate, harmonious and slightly acidic on the palate, with a very personal savouriness that makes it almost salty.

Pairs well with

Fish dishes with medium-strong sauces, salmon mousse, shellfish, sturgeon and swordfish carpaccio, vegetable flans and fish risotto.
