PAIRING
WINE – FOOD
The elegance, minerality and power of extreme evolutionary rariry make CL Magnum a wine of exceptional balance.
The freshness makes it arrive throughout its long and persistent imprint.
The double mass of 1.5 lt., in which rest for years its yeast, plays a great role.
The complexity, the great structure and the lashing freshness make Magnum CL an ideal table wine.
Start with an elegant and sensual aperitif: CL Magnum brings out the flavour and richness of oysters and caviar.
The fresh acidity goes very well together fish first courses such as “scampi alla busèra” or Sardinian gnocchi with swordfish and pistachios.
The complexity and the excellent structure hold up succulent first courses such as Calabrian “pasta china” or Milanese risotto with “ossi buchi” (bone hole meat).
The heady and enveloping scent of the long aging on the yeasts is highlighted if tasted with shellfish such as lobsters, prawns, shrimp and squillas.
The effervescenze and fresh acidity go well together with full bodied traditional Italian main courses such as “coda alla vaccinara” or Piedmontese boiled meat.
The combination of freshness, complexity, flavor and fine perlage makes CL Magnum ideal with all Italian fried foods; sublime with MOECHE.
We suggest you to taste CL Magnum, on every time, but above all together with an excellent company!
