Tasting Notes
Wine specifications
gastronomic combination
This is a high-bred white wine that can age for several years. It does not disdain salami and cold cuts, soft cheeses or white meats, matches seafood and roasted fish blissfully, and is exalted by shellfish and warm oysters, would almost deliberately forget in your cellar until time has taken its course.
