Albana Muffato · Vigna Viale

Born in 1993. Brushed by the morning mists, the Albana bunches yield to noble rot, which concentrates their sugars. Citrus and acacia honey, apricot, peach; a finish of citrus peel. It was loved by Federico Fellini.

At the table: Formaggio di Fossa di Sogliano PDO
Chicken-liver pâté or foie gras
Almond cake or citrus tart
Citrus honey and a peel finish: sweet–savoury balance with cheeses, harmony with dry pastries.
The cru: Vigna Viale — Gypsum marls and morning mists: the microclimate that invites noble rot onto the Albana bunches.
