Tasting Note
Amber and bright color. The nose is expressed with aromas of dried fruit such us apricot and figs, accompanied by honey, vanilla and elegant ethereal notes. Mellow sensation floods the palate, with an enveloping softness balanced by the acidity that gives the wine an excellent drinkability. It has a pleasant persistent finish. Meditation and after-meal wine.
