What it pairs with
-
San Daniele ham
Air-cured Friulian ham finds a peer in the wine's bitter almond and saline edge; the regional pairing. -
Frico con patate
Friulian Montasio and potato cake echoes the wine's almond pith; high acidity scrubs the cheese fat. -
Risotto al tartufo nero
Almond and hay aromatics meet the truffle's musky depth; medium body holds the Carnaroli starch.
