ORGANOLEPTIC PROFILE
The color is straw yellow with greenish reflections, clear and crystalline. The combination of the four vines maintains, both on the nose and in the mouth, the aromatic recognisability: floral from Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc, green apple and nettle from Müller Thurgau and, above all, grapefruit and rose from Gewürztraminer. Even in the gustatory structure, the peculiar characteristics of the respective vines are found in perfect harmony.
FOOD COMBINATIONS
Ideal with fish, seafood and shellfish dishes, even with elaborate sauces.
It also goes well with white meats and vegetables in particularly tasty preparations.
The marriage with oriental cuisine is intriguing.
