Squilla Mantis, Albana

An intense bright and luminous gold color, a symptom of excellent maturity and great longevity, then translates to the olfactory scents in the complex and diversified evolution where the ripe yellow pulp fruit prevails, dehydrated apricot wrapped in hints of orange peel kept in tension of the length, with notes of tea and nuts that recall the creaminess of peanut butter.
On the palate it is the triumph of tertiary aromas. Previously glimpsed, they now converge in an elegant and clean, soft, broad and generous sip, which only the freshness, the savory closure and the aromatic persistence found in a botrytized wine can balance.
The volume of alcohol, worthy of particular note and which is not perceived at all thanks to the great structure, indicates a combination with traditional Romagna foods: egg pasta with mushrooms or a second course of meat, preferably with a tendency to sweet and rich in fat, accompanied by cooking reduction and pine nuts or walnuts. An overwhelming and surprising wine with a great evolution well balanced by the verticality of hardness, the trademark of Tenuta del Paguro's wines in underwater evolution.
