Tasting

Riesling is one of the most original varieties in the world, here in a special environment influenced by Serra d'osso it is expressed with even more originality, with floral notes of white flowers, exotic fruit and some apricot. In the mouth it has a vibrant acidity, which gives it tension, all in harmony. Very elegant and intense finish, with a mineral note emerging.
A white wine with aging potential, which gains complexity and finesse as it ages in the bottle.

Accompanies fresh fish dishes, seafood, sushi and sashimi, salads, white meats, grilled red meats, pastas and risottos.; Complements delicate fusion dishes.
