Shining copper-gold colour, on the first nose reveals ripe yellow fruits such as apples and rowans. Traces of white stone get through, to be adjoined in a second moment by unfolding aromas of honey flowers and dried fennel. The complexity of scents is crowned by ripe peach.
The whole mouth is pervaded by a stunning minerality and an omnipresent freshness. The presence of citric notes in this otherwise warm and fruity wine, immediately restores the balance. As the wine slides down the throat, the palate is titillated by mediterranean herbal notes with a slightly bitter almondy finale.
Mixed fish fry with western istrian fish (“Fritto Misto”) is an exciting match for this wine. It goes along with fish pastas, but also with boiled meat and “maneštras” (thick bean soups).
