What it pairs with

  • Aged Parmigiano with honey
    Crystalline umami and salt match the wine's mineral intensity; honey bridges the sweetness.
  • Foie gras with saffron brioche
    Saffron honey notes in the wine resonate with a saffron-accented foie gras preparation.
  • Walnut torte with caramel
    Walnut-caramel notes in wine and dessert form a complementary echo.
