Venissa Bianco 2014 è caratterizzato da un colore giallo paglierino brillante. Al naso si apre con un bouquet molto intenso e complesso, con sentori di pera, albicocca, susina, mandorla e spezie, arricchiti da evidenti note iodate e agrumi. Al palato risulta pieno e caldo, di una piacevole mineralità e morbidezza, che invitano alla beva.
Venissa l’ho abbinato a un insalata di mare fresca, come primo piatto a una fregola sarda con vongole e cozze. Fantastico!
