Organoleptic Profile and Tasting Notes

Color

Bright straw yellow with youthful golden reflections, showing excellent brilliance in the glass.

Nose

The bouquet is intense, clean, and vertical. Sharp hints of orange blossom, white peach, and sage emerge, backed by a fine mineral trace linked to the schistose matrix of the soil.

Palate and Finish

The entry into the mouth is sweet and graceful. The true strength is its vibrant acidic spine, which balances the sweetness, cleanses the palate, and lengthens the sip toward a long-lasting, almond-toned finish.
