- Tasting notes
- Golden yellow. Persistent perlage, velvety and fine on the palate. The nose shows ripe notes of candied fruit, pastry cream and sugared almond, closing on a balsamic sensation.
- Food pairings
- A fine match with rich fish such as turbot and monkfish, and with fish in sauce. It goes with most pasta dishes, with raw meats and cured meats. Its savour and freshness clean the palate, while the marked structure of Pinot Noir stands up well to full-flavoured dishes.
