Tasting notes
Pale straw yellow that deepens with time. Floral aromas with hints of the aromaticity of the grape variety and evident mineral notes. Full-bodied and intense on the palate, never aggressive, with good acidity.
Pairs well with
Fish, shellfish, white meat, grilled meat and vegetables; the site suggests a slice of salami
