Tasting note
Straw yellow colour and thick tears. Shows varietal typicity on the nose with scents of dried apricot and greengage. The palate is juicy with a prominent acidity structure and clean-as-a-whistle fruit expressions, including apricot. Discreet extract sweetness and a lemon sorbet note. Very approachable and ready to drink. Even with its gentle alcohol, this wine has a rich body and firm structure, and climaxes with a long saltyfruity finish.
