about 36 months on the yeast

Intense golden yellow color with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, the notes of fresh citrus (cedar, bergamot) and white peach stand out, accompanied by a hint of crunchy red fruits inherited from Pinot Noir. Subsequently, warm and enveloping nuances of vanilla, fresh butter and a slight sweet spiciness emerge. In the mouth, it shows a vibrant saline tension and a sharp acidity that is perfectly integrated, giving dynamism and an extraordinary freshness to the drink. The finish is dry, clean and of extremely long persistence, leaving a decidedly salty and mineral aftertaste in the mouth.

Raw fish and crustaceans: Perfect for oysters, lobster tartar or red shrimp, where the wine’s pronounced minerality softens and balances the fattiness of the fish. Smoked fish: Excellent with smoked salmon or swordfish, thanks to the acidity that perfectly cuts through the smoky notes. Land-based appetizers: Excellent with fine raw prosciutto and culatello. Aperitif: Extraordinary to enjoy on its own, as a classy aperitif to start an important dinner.
