Pale, clear and bright, markedly varietal on the nose with white flowers, white fruit and a mineral touch, then a voluminous yet delicate palate.

What it pairs with

    Volume with delicacy is what a plain baked fish asks for.
  • Chicken with wild garlic
    The wine has the weight for white meat and enough citrus lift for the garlic.
  • Steamed clams
