Tasting Notes
Appearance: The wine presents a bright pale yellow color with green reflections, indicating its youth and freshness.
Nose: The nose is intense and complex, dominated by aromas of tropical fruits (pineapple, mango), candied lemon, with floral hints and fresh herbal notes like boxwood.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is lively and fresh, with a lovely minerality. Flavors of tropical fruits, citrus, and white flowers blend with subtle oaky touches from well-managed oak aging. The finish is long, with a beautiful tension and remarkable aromatic persistence.
Aging Potential
