tasting notes
Tasting notes. Greenish-yellow with an intense, complex nose and notes of white fruit and spicy and balsamic nuances. Fresh, balanced, complex and elegant, it has a pleasant, long finish with good persistence of the aromas. A wine which will still continue to improve in the bottle with more years.
