Tasting Notes: This wine is hard to describe. With your eyes closed you might think this is not a white wine.. The elegant fruit on the palate introduces a strong and meaty structure from which emanate warm and soft mineral notes. The finish is very long with elements of fruit followed by an aftertaste of olives and fresh almonds
Food Pairings: Pasta with non-tomato sauces, legumes, vegetable dishes..
