Tasting profile

Crisp and fresh with aromas of green apple, pear, citrus zest, and subtle herbal notes; palate reveals medium body, lively acidity, and a mineral-driven finish

Evolution: Over the next 3-5 years, will develop richer stone fruit aromas and a creamier texture while maintaining fresh acidity

At peak: Peak drinking will show balanced fruit maturity with integrated minerality and subtle complexity from short-term aging

Current status

Ready now, will benefit from short-term aging

Current condition

Fresh with bright acidity and varietal fruit characteristics

The peak window from 2024 to 2027 reflects when the wine’s primary fresh fruit aromas mature into more layered stone fruit and floral notes while acidity remains bright, giving the wine an elegant balance before gradual decline in freshness after 2028

Food pairing

Pairs nicely with light seafood dishes (grilled white fish, shellfish), fresh summer salads, mild soft cheeses, asparagus risotto, and simple poultry dishes; as it evolves, pairs well with richer seafood preparations or creamy Italian cheeses
