Tasting Note

A light yellow color with brilliant golden highlights. The nose is fresh and intense with citrus fruits such as tangerine peel, accompanied by a hint of smoke. The attack is precise and intense, thanks to fine acidity. On the palate, the wine is beautifully complex, combining delicacy, finesse and purity. The finish is long and elegant, underlining a fine salinity that reveals all the elegance of limestone.
