Current status

Approaching early maturity

Current condition

The 2020 vintage is fresh with good acidity, showing typical varietal character and structure suitable for early drinking but built for aging.

Due to the natural high acidity of Greco grapes and the Riserva status implying extended aging on lees or in wood, this wine develops complexity and integrates its lively elements over a decade or more.

Food pairing

Ideal with seafood, shellfish, poultry with herbs, creamy cheeses, and Mediterranean vegetable dishes.
