After soft pressing, fermentation occurs at 16-17°C for 15 days. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks on its own yeasts until the following spring, at low temperatures (8-10°C). Bottled in May. |
Bright straw yellow with golden hues. Aromas of acacia, lily of the valley, lemon blossom, narcissus, gardenia, and lavender, complemented by fruity notes of yellow peach, apricot, mango, pineapple, and citrus peel, with hints of star anise, sage, and cardamom. On the palate, it is warm, round, fresh, harmonious, and soft, with a persistent finish of apricot and tropical fruits.
