KURO (Black) starts with delicate aromas of apple and banana, then strikes a balance of savory depth and dry clarity that brings out the best in the food before leaving the palate clean and fresh.
KURO is named for the lustrous black of traditional lacquerware. Great for everyday sipping or those special black-tie occasions, it pairs well with shellfish, dark meat fish, and green vegetables—especially those with astringency, like asparagus, artichokes, or rucola.
