Tasting
This Nature wine expresses lovely aromas of grape juice, apples and pears. On the palate, it has quince flavors and minerality. The light saline touch of its clay-limestone terroir accompanies the acidity superbly, giving it straightforwardness and elegance. A dry wine that pleasantly awakens the taste buds.
