Tasting notes

Colour: straw yellow with lively golden green highlights.

Bouquet: it is characterized by fragrant scents of broom, iris and acacia, which alternate with generous notes of pineapple, yellow peach, cantaloupe melon, vanilla, almond and millefiori honey.

Taste: very elegant and enveloping, it strikes for its rare gentleness and for its roundness and structure, well-balanced by a fresh and gratifying acidity.

Characteristics: a rich and full wine, very deep and persistent, it enchants for its harmony and complexity and for the distinctness of the fruit, which expresses an important attitude for ageing.

Food matches: best served with rich dishes like swordfish rolls with sauce 'alla messinese', risotto with imperial crawfish of Gallipoli and truffle, roasted groper with Mediterranean herbs, char-grilled 'tonno pinna rossa' (red flipper tuna) fillet. Delicious with fish cous-cous with 'harissa' and speck omelette.
