On the nose, it offers a complex and multifaceted bouquet, with notes of white pulp fruit, such as pear and peach, accents of citrus, aromatic herbs and a subtle minerality that recalls the characteristics of the land of origin. These aromas are enriched by nuances of honey and white flowers, which add elegance and olfactory depth.
In the mouth, the wine surprises with its remarkable structure and the perfect balance between lively acidity and richness of flavours, which translates into a full and enveloping sip. The aromatic persistence is remarkable, with a long and mineral finish that invites another taste.
