| Color | Golden yellow with strong amber reflections. |
| Perfume | Intense scents of citrus, candies, exotic fruits and elegant tertiary aromas. |
| Taste | Pleasantly sweet, warm, wrapping, of great softness and consistency. On the palate, the same notes perceived by the nose are discerned: exotic fruit, peach and ripe apricot integrated with spiced notes and a largely persistent honey aftertaste. |
| Pairings | Excellent to go with desserts, from dry pastries to almond-based cakes, “cantucci” biscuits or dark chocolate. Thanks to its properties, it can be paired with even stronger flavours like, for example, blue or spicy cheeses and fois gras. On its own, it is very agreeable as a meditation wine. |
