Tasting notes
Annata 2016 | Alcool 13.0% vol
Appearance
Bright straw yellow, limpid, with clear green reflections.
Nose
Impressive for its calibrated intensity; beautiful wine with fruit hints (passion fruit and yellow peach), herbaceous (sage and thyme), with echoes of very delicate flowers, never sweet scents (honeysuckle and, less evident, elder). Very light smoky background for a wine of remarkable finesse and elegance.
Palate
Optimal structure with pronounced freshness and body supporting an excellent persistence and a proper, elegant nose-palate correspondence. Very enjoyable now, flavour still to develop.
Serving suggestions
Delicious poured on noble fishes in different preparations to enhance them. Wonderful to enjoy with delicate spring herbs and asparagus omelettes. Particularly appreciable with an asparagus carbonara home made pasta.
Serving temperature
To serve at 12°C with best expressiveness at 15°C (suggested 12°C when serving with right aeration reaching 15°C).
