Tasting
This white wine has a pale yellow color with golden reflections, shining beautifully. On the nose, it reveals elegant aromas of white flowers, such as honeysuckle and hawthorn, mixed with notes of white-fleshed fruits, especially pear and peach, with a subtle touch of honey. On the palate, the attack is lively and fresh, with a well-balanced acidity that brings a beautiful minerality. The flavors of ripe fruits harmonize with a silky texture and a long finish, marked by hints of almond and vanilla.
