How to enjoy it

Our serving suggestion: try it lightly chilled in a wine glass, then let it warm slightly as you sip. No mixing is needed.

The producer recommends blue cheese or Gorgonzola with almonds and dried fruit, flourless chocolate cake, or berry pie. Our suggestion: make it the red-wine option for a relaxed dessert gathering.
