What it pairs with

  • Grilled zander with dill
    High-acid Furmint and freshwater fish is a traditional Tisza valley pairing.
  • Green salad with vinaigrette
    The wine's acidity mirrors the vinaigrette without competing.
  • Light chicken liver mousse
    Mineral Furmint's acidity cuts through the richness of the light liver mousse.

History

Lapis Pince operates from Olaszliszka (Italian Clear), a historic Bodrog valley wine village that once housed an Italian viticulture colony in the medieval period. The village sits directly on the river with morning mists that promote autumn botrytis development; the family produces Furmint and Aszú from these fog-favoured plots.
