Nose
On the nose the typical aromatic notes of the Glera grape are enriched with very delicate and fresh scents of brambly fruits, such as redcurrant and raspberry. The bouquet of white flowers and berry fruit is finally enveloped by a very pleasant balsamic note of fresh rosemary leaves.
Palate
On the palate every sip is bursting with life, with the very pleasant freshness, flavour and full-bodied structure of Pinot Noir. The finish is long and complex and perfectly matches the aromas. Harmonious and elegant, with a long and silky finish.
