TASTING NOTE

Appearance: Brilliant straw yellow with golden reflections.

Bouquet: Bouquet etereo di rara intensit  e fragranza, nel quale il fruttato di origine varietale e i sentori di miele abbinati ad una leggera nota di vaniglia e di cioccolato bianco sono in perfetta armonia.

Flavor: Elegant and well-balanced, with velvety, well-knit fruit that is redolent of vanilla, acacia honey and freshly-mown hay, combined with attractive floral notes. All of these sensations contribute to an overall flavor of great breed and remarkable persistence.
