Tasting notes
Serve between 12 and 14˚c. The wine should be aired or carafed before tasting.
It will reveal notes of spring meadow flowers, white fruit and kiwi. The absence of anartificial woody taste ensures that there is perfect harmony between the aromatic complexity and the minerality of the terroir.
