Its aroma is ample and rotund with fruity hints of unripe tomato, with apple and banana, together with fragrant notes of basil, mint and parsley. Its taste is fine and complex, enriched by a vegetal flavour of lettuce and celery. Bitterness is distinct and pungency is present.
It would be ideal on mayonnaise, barley appetizers, amberjack carpaccio, rice salads, marinated sea bream, pea pureè, pasta with ovuli mushrooms, grilled cuttlefish, shrimp tartare, soft fresh cheese and oven cookies.
