  • Tasting Notes

    • Straw yellow, stand outs for its aromatic personality and elegance. The bouquet presents floral notes of magnolia, orange blossom, fruity nose of peaches, yellow fruit, citrus fruit and aromatic herbs. Softness and richness on the palate thanks to a well-balanced acidity and a tasty closure that makes the final complex and pleasant at the same time. Elegant and very persistent, versatile in its pairing. Ideal for batter vegetables, soups based with pumpkin, legumes and mushrooms, risotto and first courses with peas, asparagus and with spontaneous herbs in general, together with white meat and fresh cheeses.
