In the glass
Aroma: elderflower, lime zest, green pepper, white peach, fresh herbs
Palate: grapefruit, fresh-cut grass, saline pith, long finish
Russiz Superiore's Collio Sauvignon with elderflower and lime zest aromatics over a saline pith finish. The restrained Friulian style, with longer cellar potential than commodity Sauvignon.
What it pairs with
-
Goat cheese salad
Elderflower aromatics handle the fresh chevre; high acidity scrubs the cheese fat. -
Asparagus with hollandaise
Green pepper and grass aromatics echo the spring vegetable; saline pith handles the butter sauce. -
Pan-seared sea bass
Lime zest aromatics lift the white fish; medium body holds the dish without overwhelming.
