| Descriptive
Notes: |
|
A
full-bodied, well-structured, straw-coloured wine, enhanced
by a "sur lies" in acacia wood barrels. On the nose, noticeable
characteristics of the Arneis variety, with both fruity and
floral hints. Very intense taste, but not nauseating, due
to its good level of acidity which enhances the fruity peach
and pineapple perceptions and finishing with a floral Dandelion
scent. |
