Description of the Wine
Bright straw yellow in color. On the nose it shows aromas of peach, pear, quince and citrus. They are linked to an elegant touch of vanilla and toffee, resulting from its aging in the barrel. In the mouth, its correct acidity merges into a creamy and fresh sensation, in harmony with its volume and long persistence. 

Winemaker’s Comments
