This wine is very lightly coloured with a minute, persistent perlage. It is intensely fruity and floral with extremely insistent and highly refined aromas. Hints of good ripe fruit – particularly yellow apples – and wisteria flower are highly pronounced. The wine is amiable and caressing and fresh with a very balanced body. It has great harmony, a long and intense aromatic persistence and a markedly fruity finish.

This is the perfect choice for the final flourish of the meal and with desserts. It is traditionally served with panettone or focaccia, dry confectionery and puddings but is also wonderful with select cheeses and delicate liver pâté dishes.
