Maturation: stainless steel on the lees for four months and then two months in the bottle.
Color: Intense pale yellow with greenish reflections, very consistent.
Bouquet: Inevitable pleasure from the intensity of this wine. Fruity and floral at the beginning, pineapple and white flowers, apple and a bit of acacia. After a few minutes the aroma evolves into notes of crusty bread and honey, which come from the maturation on the lees.
Palate: Soft and fresh in the mouth. Pleasingly persistent which allows us to appreciate the bouquet.
