Organoleptic description
Straw yellow in colour with relative intensity and bright greenish reflections,
it offers elegant and refined olfactory sensations, recalling floral notes,
fresh and ripe fruit, such as yellow peach and tropical fruit.
Mineral hints return on the palate; the drink offers a good alcohol content
and a polite acidic tension. The progression recalls “stony” sensations.
Very clean, long, savoury, citrusy and slightly almondy finish.

Tasting notes
With a pale straw appearance, with charming greenish-silver reflections,
it has a fresh nose with fruity hints of white peach and orange zest,
vegetal notes of lemon verbena and star anise, floral aromas
of acacia and lily of the valley, with the typical mineral and wet stone notes
that characterise the most distinctive Soave; a fine, harmonious,
pleasant bouquet of well-balanced intensity. The palate is subtly elegant, with
a lovely acidic freshness, measured alcoholic warmth, and marked mineral savouriness;
easy-drinking and juicy, it has a long, clean finish that
echoes the notes already perceived on the nose.
Serving
6-8° C.
Food pairings
When young, thanks to its mineral savouriness, it pairs well
with many egg-based dishes, provided they are not too spicy:
frittatas with courgette flowers or spinach, omelette, poached egg. Worth
trying with mozzarella in carrozza. Excellent with delicate freshwater fish:
from risotto with perch or whitefish, to wild trout
and freshwater crayfish. After moderate ageing of
2-3 years, it becomes a wine for more demanding fish dishes, such as sea bass
baked in salt, and fresh or lightly aged goat's cheeses.
Longevity
1-2 years.
