TASTING NOTES
Straw yellow with golden hues. On the nose, delicate notes of yeast and baked bread meet with fruity notes of apple and citrus peel, accompanied by floral hints of jasmine. On the palate of great balance and excellent persistence, verticality and elegance with a pleasant savoury taste. In the finish the fruity sensations of apple and ripe lemon return pleasantly long.
