Nose
Delicate aromas of good intensity with the
right balance between the crust of bread, the
yeasts and the freshness of fruits including the
pear, apple and banana. Followed by citrus
notes of citron and lemon, and bouquets of
white spring flowers. A pleasant finish with
the Mediterranean spices.
Palate
On the palate it is harmonious and elegant,
with a present and balanced acidity, fresh,
savory, and with a long and persistent finish.
