ORGANOLEPTIC DESCRIPTION:
This Cartizze appears a green-flecked, pale straw yellow, fluted by a near-endless, delicate bead of tiny bubbles. A majestic, complex bouquet is redolent of apple, pear, and rose petal. The attractively lean palate is at the same time lightly sweet yet crisp, while impressions of glazed almonds enhance a lengthy finish.

FOOD MATCHES:
Ideal for special occasions, it is delicious paired with light fruit pastries, cream pastries, and, last but far from least, shellfish.

GLASS:
Flûte.
