<p>Arinto da Peceguina White Wine opens with bright aromas of citrus and minerality, offering freshness and precision on the nose. On the palate, it is well-balanced with lively acidity, good structure, and excellent potential to develop greater complexity with bottle ageing. Perfectly suited for seafood, oysters, grilled fish, and light Mediterranean dishes, it also pairs beautifully with fresh salads, goat cheese, and sushi. Best enjoyed chilled at 10–12 °C.</p>
