This delicate and elegant white wine is crafted from sun-soaked grapes. Aromas of white flowers and citrus spread throughout the mouth, with a light fruitiness and a lingering mineral finish. The mouthfeel is creamy and rich, with an exquisite balance of acidity and sweetness. A perfect wine to open and enjoy now, this wine combines freshness and maturity, and pairs exceptionally well with fine fish dishes, shellfish, and creamy cheeses. Its refined aroma and flavor will bring a special moment to your dinner table.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
A brilliant light gold color. Fresh aromas of white flowers, gentian, grapefruit, pear, and white peach are enhanced by subtle smokiness and minerality. On the palate, energetic acidity and fruitiness spread, followed by a mineral note and long finish. Medium-bodied with a solid structure, it leaves a smooth and refined impression. This white wine can be enjoyed young and will become even more complex with age.

Pairing
Grilled lobster, sautéed scallops, ricotta cheese ravioli
