TASTING NOTES

Fragrance: This wine lends a floral sensation of apple blossoms coupled with a primary aroma of stone fruits. Coupled with a pleasant herbal spiciness, it has a refreshing retro-nasal bouquet with a hint of nettles and lemon balm.
 
Taste: A refreshing, pleasantly racy acidity, well balanced with the residual sweetness. Distinctive minerality with a subtle, salty sensation. Full-bodied aftertaste and a prolonged taste on the palate. A wine full of character with a notably young taste.
