What it pairs with
-
Vitello tonnato
Pear and almond aromatics handle the tuna-mayonnaise sauce; saline finish refreshes between bites. -
Risotto with shellfish
Saline minerality lifts the seafood's sweetness; medium body holds the Carnaroli starch. -
Roast chicken with herbs
Pear and white peach aromatics pair with the roast bird; high acidity scrubs the chicken fat.
