    Saffron risotto finds a foil in the wine's yellow peach and acacia honey; soft mousse handles the Carnaroli starch.
  • Pollo arrosto al limone
    Lemon roast chicken meets the wine's brioche and vanilla; medium body holds up to the bird's roasted fat.
  • Lemon meringue tart
    Fresh almond and acacia honey mirror the dessert; brut dosage keeps the pairing from cloying.
