Straw yellow color with green shadows in the areas of least thickness
The nose has intense aromas of elderberry flowers, tomato leaf, white melon. By turning the glass there are also white currants, celery and traces of aromatic herbs. Remarkable the depth of the perfumes, and their particularity. Some classics that identify the grape, others that distinguish it by uniqueness.
On the palate it has volume for a valuable substance, even though it is well moored to the hard dock. In fact, acidity and minerality are in evidence, for an extreme incomparability in the culinary combinations. Aromas of citrus and fruit arrive. More than persistent.
Very interesting interpretation of Sauvignon Blanc from South Tyrol. It ranks among the best.
Accompanies omelettes with asparagus, raw fish, and spelled salad with raw vegetables. Penne with broccoli cherry tomatoes and desalted anchovies, spaghetti with cockles and trenette with pesto with potatoes and croissants. Curry chicken, and Mediterranean sea bass.
