GREEN ASPARAGUS

Apr 7, 2022

Green asparagus has long been regarded as one of the enemies of wine. It is time to make amends! In its aromatic structure, when steamed, it contains aromatic compounds from the same family as Sauvignon blanc. And if grilled, sautéed or roasted, it develops aromas from the barrel-aged wine family, starting with Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec.
