Gastronomic matches: The dry taste makes it excellent as an aperitif with chicken liver pate on toasts and Colonnata pig lard, cheese flans, oysters and shellfish main courses like boiled lobster.

The Winemaker's notes... Good fermentation is an important aspect for wines that then undergo a secondary fermentation in the bottle. Maintaining the freshness and support acidity is important to ensure the primary and varietal aromas that make this vintage a great wine to accompany - and why not? - an entire meal due to the duration of the yeasts.
