Tasting
Bright, light yellow color with delicate silvery highlights.
The nose is expressive and inviting, revealing intense aromas of white-fleshed
fruits and fresh exotic fruits, lifted by subtle floral nuances.
The attack charms with crystalline freshness and aromatic brilliance. The texture
is supple and harmonious, supported by juicy flavors of fresh fruit. The long
finish extends the tasting with delicate fruity notes and a pleasant sensation of
freshness.
