Tasting Notes
Intense yellow-gold; on the nose: citrus, grapefruit, banana, toasted hazelnut, honey and slight note of oak. In the mouth, fat,
powerful and fresh with a long, persistent finish.
Food Pairing
Given its substantial structure, this wine pairs particularly well with a wide range of dishes, from chicken galantine, seafood antipasti, crustacean first courses, soups (like minestrone or cream of mushroom, potatoes or leeks), salads with chicken. Excellent with seafood and fish.
