COLOR

NOSE
It is a great wine with a finely harmonious, floral and fruity bouquet, with typical notes reminiscent of bitter almond, pear, wild flowers and acacia.

TASTE
The taste is soft and velvety, moderately acidic, dry and well structured. The finish, incredibly persistent, is characterised by the typical and unmistakable hint of bitter almond that enhances the typical character of the variety.

FOOD PAIRING
It is excellent when paired with S. Daniele raw ham and wonderful with vegetables, in particular with spring vegetables: asparagus, nettle, silene to be used in risottos and omelettes. It also goes very well with crustaceans: cicadas, prawns, scampi and lobsters because it has the right minerality to enhance their flavour.

SERVING TEMPERATURE

TASTING NOTES

Straw yellow, intensely floral and silky, crisp when young and pulpy over time.
