Harmonious, sapid and aromatic fragrance. It is excellent as an aperitif, goes well with starters and particularly with delicately flavoured dishes, most of all fish based ones.
Ideal as an aperitif, with all antipasti, but perfect as well with dishes featuring fish, rice, pasta, light meats, full-flavoured fish, and with fresh or medium-aged cheeses.
The colour is yellow with green reflections. The perlage is very fine and persistent. The bouquet is delicate and compact, followed by a dry taste and the distinctive finish of its full flavour.
