Straw yellow colour. On the nose it presents a fascinating bouquet of green apple and white peach, accompanied by subtle nuances of lemon balm and mint. In the mouth, it is fresh, balanced and harmonious, with a fascinating mineral note that persists until a long-lasting finish.

Ideal as an aperitif, this wine goes well with asparagus salads and traditional dishes such as pizza, tomato pasta, rosemary focaccia or penne all’arrabbiata.
