Tasting notes
At sight: it has a bright straw yellow color with green nuances and golden notes that increase in maturation. Remarkable consistency
On the nose: excellent intensity. Long and complex persistence rich in fruity and slightly honeyed fragrances that anticipate bitter floral hints of Mediterranean scrub, creating an elegant synergy of perfumes
On the palate: dry but very soft. The warm embrace of its alcoholic strength does not suppress its precise freshness and blends harmoniously with the delicate tertiary hints of a masterful refinement in fine barriques and steel

Pairings: its elegant and soft structure and convincing flavor suggest to be given to important dishes from the seafaring, both traditional and modern cuisine. Sublimation takes place with first courses in white fish sauces (risotto and spaghetti with clams) and with vegetable base. It has no rival on blue fish. Excellent is the marriage with low-court white meats up to young sheep, as well as in various truffle processes and on fatty liver
