Tasting Notes

Annata 2019 | Alcool 12.5% vol

Colour
At sight, it shows charming brightness and clarity and a youthful lemon yellow color with greenish reflections.

On the nose
The nose begins with measured intensity, played between very delicate vegetable scents and equally delicate fruity notes (peach and exotic fruit).
With oxygenation and the increase in temperature, the wine becomes more complex, expressing floral aromas (broom and wildflowers), wheat flour, delicate smoky notes and fruity hints that recall ripening peaches and pears. Still, it has a slight citrus note (cedar and bergamot zest) and then again exotic fruit. Everything is expressed with a discreet and never shameless intensity.
Elegant.

On the palate
In the mouth it is dry, with great flavor and good acidity. Both are softened with the temperature of the wine, which acquires both complexity and aroma.
Good persistence and great tidiness in the mouth.

Serving suggestions
An apéritif wine or to pair with firm fish meat, also baked.

Serving temperature
To be served at 12° C.
