PAIRINGS Excellent as an aperitif, and then with seafood appetizers, risottos and fresh cheeses.

TASTE On the palate it shows a beautiful balance, with a vivid freshness always accompanied by hidden mineral veins. Which also remain in the endowment of the aftertaste

NOTES It is a simple wine, but not banal for this reason. It has a splendid flavor which, added to the freshness, makes it the perfect sip for the summer or for an aperitif accompanied by some fish snacks. It is a recently rediscovered vine, having in the past been relegated to increasingly restricted territories due to reduced productivity.
