Its structure is balanced and the progression on the palate invites a measured consumption; colour and aromatic profile suggest a restrained maturity, suitable for informal convivial moments or more intimate occasions.
Serve at a moderate temperature; it is versatile for pairings and naturally accompanies meat dishes and hard cheeses, while also suiting preparations based on cooked vegetables or homestyle dishes.
