Tasting Notes

It has an enchanting appearance, displaying a golden yellow hue traversed slowly by an extremely fine perlage that lingers for a long time on the surface of the glass. The initial impression on the nose reveals a kaleidoscope of aromas, starting off with apricot and pineapple, before giving way to honey, freshly baked apple pie, and cinnamon. Nuances of butter and mountain herbs emerge with further oxygenation in the glass. In the mouth, it amazes one with the incredible richness of its fruit and the delicacy of its bubbles. These combine to caress the palate, underpinned by perfectly integrated acidity. The finish is tangy and extraordinarily long. A wine that is multi-faceted, aristocratic, and satisfying.
