The deep straw-yellow color with gol- den highlights shows us we are dealing with a remarkable wine. The initial at- tack is anything but simple and surren- ders slowly, like a charming woman. Persistent ripe fruit introduces the nose and the warm, soft palate displays re- markable pulp and pleasant mineral shades.

gastronomic combination
This wine obviously pairs well with fish dishes and slightly aged cheeses, but is also interesting with white meats and marries perfectly with a poached egg in a light anchovy sauce, sprinkled with Alba truffle.
