The wine is mysterious, unassuming and surrounded with finesse. The fine bubbles enhance the iodine-like minerality that reminds of fresh seaweeds and kelp, complemented by a rich biscuity allure. Yeasty flavours of freshly baked bread, lemon cream, Granny Smith and Pink Lady apples on the nose and hints of citrus, pineapple and kiwi fruit on the pallet. The wine finish rich and leaves a creamy aftertaste.
A perfect aperitif for any occasion. Smoked meats are a good match, as are duck, pork or ham with savoury sauces. Mushroom-based dishes work well. Another option is fuller yellow cheeses such as Pecorino, Parmesam or well-matured Cheddar. Tempura oysters, deep fried fish, Asian food, sashimi, avocado, freshly baked bread, The wine is sophisticated but goes well with simplistic, raw, fresh produce like a starter of fresh tomato and goat’s cheese.
