How to serve it

Serve very cold at 6–8 °C: aperitivo with ice and orange peel, olive and siphon —classic Andalusian service recommended by the winery. Pairs with potatoes, pickles, cheeses and fish preserves; versatile in Negroni or Manhattan. Balloon glass or low tumbler; low temperature enhances citrus and bitterness without cloying.
