• Taste guide: In the glass it is straw yellow in colour with greenish highlights, enlivened by a fine and persistent perlage. The nose is fresh, with floral notes of linden, citrus nuances, white peach and green pepper. Palate flavour winners are certainly citrus and tree fruit with toast/brioche nuances too, almost champagne-esc. The mouth is tight and crisp, fresh and vertical, sapid, refined and with a lingering, very enjoyable finish.
