In the Glass: It has a penetrating aroma of raisins and dried figs; on the palate it has overtones of aromatic honey and tobacco, with a good balance between sweetness and acidity. The wine is further aged in the bottle to harmonise the structure of Trebbiano with the sweetness and aromas of Malvasia.
Food Pairings: It goes well with pecorino and mature cheeses and gorgonzola, dried and candied fruit, intense chocolate, dry or almond pastries, such as the typical “Cantucci Toscani”, and puddings. To accompany meals and a meditative wine.
