What it pairs with
-
Risotto al tartufo bianco
Almond and honey aromatics handle the white truffle's musky depth; medium body holds the Carnaroli starch. -
Pan-seared scallops
Saline minerality lifts the shellfish sweetness; almond pith pairs with the pan jus. -
Roast guinea fowl
Hay and honey aromatics pair with the bird's nutty fat; high acidity scrubs the chicken fat.
