MORE INFORMATION:
Aromatic wine that is both opulent and fresh, with succulent apricots and ripe peaches offering a burst of sweetness. Vibrant lemon and mango follow through with a silky texture and refined complexity.

Excellent pairings include pan-seared scallops with saffron risotto, where the sweetness of the scallops and the aromatic saffron complement the wine's floral and pear notes, while the creamy risotto echoes its oily texture. Roast chicken with apricots and almonds provides a harmonious blend of richness, fruitiness, and nutty undertones that align beautifully with the wine's profile. For a vegetarian option, creamy butternut squash risotto with sage offers a delightful interplay of textures and complementary flavors.
