How it looks
Light and compact golden yellow.
Aroma
Fine and elegant Chardonnay. It gives us lightly toasted notes of white wisteria and jasmine, white pepper, exotic fruits and smoky notes.
Taste
On the palate, it is very balanced and easy to drink, with acidity and alcohol content in perfect harmony. Pleasant, spicy finish that adds complexity and fullness to the sip.
Perfect match with
Chardonnay for the whole meal. Ideal with stuffed vegetarian pies. Perfect with Spaghetti Terreni alla Maggia with seafood and scallops, flavoured with yuzu salt. Stuffed omelettes. Rich aperitifs.
