Tasting Note
Delicate citrus aromas combine with floral notes. A harmonious palate that is dry, fresh and mineral. Persistent finish with excellent drinkability. Guardoilvento pairs well with fish dishes, as an appetizer or second course. With fried fish, but also swordfish, amberjack, anchovies and tuna. In addition to pasta dishes with vegetables and saffron risotto. ~ Paolo Caciorgna, owner/winemaker
