Tasting Notes
100% White Muscat. The wine is characterized by floral a nd f ruity nuances: orange blossom, pears, golden apples, pineapple, moss and sage hues. A perfect match for biscuits, non-creamy pastry and fruit, it combines unexpectedly
but successfully with fresh cold cuts and fermenting cheeses.
