Tasting notes

Intense straw yellow with golden hues.

Elegant, harmonious and fine. Floral and fruity aromas of white and yellow flowers, peach, citron, apple and pear, with mineral notes of chalk and flint and creamy hints of pastry, vanilla and acacia honey. Savoury, balsamic finish.

Rich and enveloping, fine and well structured. The pleasant drive of acidity and sapidity is balanced by notes of butter, hazelnut and vanilla. Long, persistent finish.
