HOW IT IS: A bright, golden beer with a creamy, compact and persistent foam. The aromas are fresh and dominated by a splendid coriander spice and light sensations of lemon peel. The palate is enriched by herbaceous and malty notes but the lively carbonation and the slightly dry finish streamline the body.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Cheese and vegetable starters and first courses; ricotta and spinach pie; artichoke tortelli on taleggio cheese fondue; white meats, also baked. Recommended pizzas: Four seasons; white with artichoke cream and porchetta; white with cooked ham, asiago and asparagus.
HOW IT IS: It is slightly amber in colour, with orange highlights and a lively ivory foam. The aroma is dominated by orange, with hints of pear, ripe banana and fruit under spirits. On the palate it confirms itself as a citrusy, thirst-quenching beer, evolving through enveloping notes of wholemeal bread and malt. A decisive but balanced bitterness lingers discreetly in the mouth, enticing one to take another sip.
PAIRINGS: Tastes of pecorino cheese of various ages, raw ham; pasta dishes with rich, savoury or spicy sauces; barbecued sausages, wild boar, grilled fish, fried fish.Pizzas: diavola; quattro formaggi; boscaiola.
HOW IT IS:A brown ale with bewitching, luminous amaranth hues, a creamy, compact and persistent foam, characterised by notes of fresh yeast, fruit preserved in alcohol and dried fruit, enhanced by touches of cocoa. A structured beer, dominated by malty sensations with hints of caramel and liqueur-like sensations that fall towards a warm, dry peppery finish.
PAIRINGS:Platters of mature cheeses; first courses with sauces such as Bolognese ragout but also sausage, speck and game; meats with red fruit jams or crusted with dried fruit. Recommended pizzas: White with sausage, mushrooms and truffle cream; four cheeses and walnuts.
