The estate's prestige Collio Bianco from the Col Disore cru. Multi-variety field blend with partial oak ageing, the Russiz Superiore flagship since 1997.

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.
