On the palate, the wine shows good structure, balance, and a pleasant taste richness, supported by freshness and a savory texture that extends the finish. The aging in oak barrels, followed by resting in steel and in the bottle, contributes to giving complexity and harmony, without altering the recognizability of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Sauvignon from Collio pairs effectively with structured seafood dishes, shellfish, baked fish, first courses with vegetables or aromatic herbs, delicate white meats, and fresh or medium-aged cheeses.
