Characteristics
Rafè’s pale straw-yellow hue reveals to the attentive eye intriguing greenish highlights. Pronounced floral notes predominate among its complex aromas, followed by a delicious, fresh acidity that is nicely complemented by a subtle fruity finish.
Served well chilled, it is delicious with fish dishes and light risottos, as well as with full-flavoured cured prosciutto.
