Food pairing

Wine perfect for appetizers with herbal and with delicate fish.

In its sparkling version he had not convinced me, with bubbles that had covered the scent and flavor. As a still wine, sciaglin proves an honest wine as an aperitif or to accompany fish dishes. almost greenish yellow color, the wine is fresh and balanced tannins. The apple stands out nicely for a wine that keeps a good persistence and a good flavor. An enjoyable experience.
