Wine pairing notes
This smooth, round and savory Verduzzo is a perfect match for the seared salmon and its mango sauce. The notes of honey of the wine are enhanced by the sauce that contains honey as well and the sweet side of the wines is excellent with the mango and edamame kernels ratatouille that sides the fish. The velvety palate of the wine, by the way, is in tune with the bitter aftertaste of the edamame.

Winery
65 years of history to create, harvest after harvest, a wine of great quality resulting from land barren and rocky. Rauscedo tradition, handed down since the time of the Romans, was able to protect the secret to transform a piece of inhospitable land in the best land to produce wines enjoyed all over the world. In Rauscedo between rivers flowing impetuous and then suddenly disappearing into the ground, it is said that “the water divides men. the wine unites them”.
