Current condition

The wine is developing secondary complexity while retaining vibrant freshness and fruit character

The blend's natural acidity from Sauvignon Blanc and Ribolla Gialla combined with the richness of Chardonnay and Picolit grants excellent aging potential. This allows the wine to stay fresh yet deepen in complexity through a decade or more.

Food pairing

Ideal with seafood (grilled fish, shellfish), light pasta dishes, creamy risottos, and fresh goat cheese.
