Olfaction

Chardonnay's organoleptic scents such as pineapple, cedar peel, hazelnut and acacia chase each other in the glass, blended well with the touch of woodiness yielded by the oak barrels where the wine ages

palate

The sip is rich and deep and progressively develops a wealth of complex citrus, fruit and mineral sensations. Net savoriness well fused with lively yet noble and ripe acidity that introduces the roasted hazelnut finish

PAIRINGS

Noble white-fleshed crustaceans (lobster, lobster, spider crab), white-fleshed lake and sea fish in sauce, risotto and pasta dishes with seasonal vegetables, and medium-aged semi-hard cheeses.
