Color

Perfume
Complex with hints of chestnut honey and vanilla, characterized by a slight and harmonious oxidative note.
Palate
The sapidity and minerality of the Grechetto that grows on volcanic soils are unmistakable, enriched by the micro-oxygenation due to the chestnut barrique as per ancient Italian tradition, which gives greater complexity, persistence, and a slight hint of resin.
Pairings
Highly versatile, thanks to the minerality of Grechetto and the complexity imparted by chestnut aging. Pairs well with seafood dishes, especially carpaccio and raw preparations. Fresh porcini mushrooms and truffle. Elaborate meat dishes such as stuffed guinea fowl and stewed wild boar. Dishes featuring dried or exotic fruits.
