- Tasting notes
-
Straw yellow in colour, it offers an intense and complex bouquet with citrus and Mediterranean herbs notes, accompanied by delicate hints of toasted hazelnuts and vanilla given by the long aging. In the mouth, it is broad and structured, with a pleasant sapid and mineral texture. A long-lasting white, rich in nuances and with great aging potential
