Valdobbiadene Docg

Follalba Dry

Soft and round, Follalba Dry matches perfectly the typical biscuits of the Venetian tradition like “Lingue di Gatto” or “Zaeti”. We suggest a surprising alternative: serve it with sweet and sour fish.

TASTING NOTES

Straw-yellow color, fine and persistent bubble, creamy foam. The nose presents a good complexity, rich of fruity aromas like dry apricot, pineapple chips, rennet apple, followed by more floral notes like chamomile and acacia. The mouthfeel is consistent, soft but well-balanced. The sugar residual is balanced by freshness and acidity.
