What it pairs with
-
Risotto al tartufo bianco
Almond cream and honey aromatics handle the white truffle's musky depth; full body holds the Carnaroli starch. -
Aged Parmigiano Reggiano 36 months
Crystalline cheese salt mirrors the saline finish; almond aromatics echo the rind's umami. -
Roast guinea fowl with porcini
Honey and almond cream aromatics pair with the bird's nutty fat; high acidity scrubs the chicken fat.
