Amore Protetto

Description

Tasting Notes

Intense yellow gold colour. The nose is intense and elegant with light notes of bread and intense hints of aromatic herbs, thyme and sage. Then citrus notes and light hints of almond come up. On the palate it is fresh and sharp, its creamy texture makes the sip full and complex. The nose sensation also throwback on the palate, the hints of almond are more intense on the palate rather than on the nose. The finish is elegant and dry with notes of aromatic herbs returning.

Food Pairing

A sparkling wine with good freshness. The typical aromas of the stop on the yeasts are perfectly balanced and do not cover other hints. For these characteristics Amore Protetto can be paired with many dishes.
