CHATEAU GALISSONNIERE MUSCADET SEVRE ET MAIN SUR LIE
CENTORAME SCUDERIE DUCALI MONTEPULCIANO D'ABRUZZO
Loire Valley, France
Abruzzo, Italy Cheese pairing: This wine pairs with Pecorino Romano, a hard, salty Italian cheese made with sheep's milk.
Cheese pairing: This wine pairs beautifully with Gruyere, Brie or Raclette. It also pairs well with fondue cheeses.
This taut, mineral-textured wine offers considerable acidity as well as ripe apple flavors. Just the right amount of minerality and salinity, well balanced and fresh, giving the wine purity and intensity.

Made from younger vines on alluvial soils farther down the slope from Centorame’s hilltop winery. Certified organic, made with power from Lamberto’s massive solar panels, vinified in stainless steel. The wine is fresh berry juiciness and smooth through the finish.
