Colour: Golden yellow with coppery hues echoing the nuances of the grape hues, thanks to delicate maceration on the skins. Nose: Sweet and captivating on the nose, with spring flowers and ripe fruit harmoniously blended with minerally, spicy, balsamic aromas. Marked hints of calendula, gerbera daisies, orange lilies, and lime blossom honey alongside honeydew melon, papaya, white cherries and rain-washed stone. Palate: Solid tannic structure, beautifully balanced acidity and tangy flavour. A smooth, seductive entry progresses close-knit into lime, beeswax, candied citrus and gooseberries, and a lingering, minerally finish on hints of untoasted almonds. Food pairings: Flexible and generous, an ideal accompaniment to summer evenings as a striking aperitif or alongside seared scallops with puréed peas and powdered bacon; risotto with Romanesco broccoli, fillets of red mullet and burrata; red shrimp tartare with datterini tomatoes and passion fruit; crab alla veneziana. In colder weather, it is perfect served with beet ravioli with ricotta; pumpkin risotto with turmeric and porcini mushrooms; bigoli with sardines, passerini fritti; but also holds its own with mild, sweet white meats, complementing its tangy flavour.
