To be enjoyed with the eyes and nose even before the mouth. A refined pink colour heralds scents of the undergrowth and fruit compotes. The Yin and the Yang of life represented by Chardonnay and Pinot Nero left to rest on yeasts for more than 24 months. Sensual, very enjoyable and eclectic. A perfect wine in any situation and with any food. To be tried absolutely with fine salamis and cold cuts and with raw shellfish.
