Tasting notes
In the glass, a gold color with an amber hue.
On the nose hints of liquorice, yellow peaches and hazelnut with nuances of dried apricots supported by tea leaves.
The mouth is rich, fresh and complex where dried apricots, almond and suggestions of honey are mixed in harmony giving to the wine a great drinkability.
The wine has a long and crisp finish supported by a nice texture.
