TASTING NOTES
Color: bright straw yellow color with marked shades of green.
Nose: a fine and complex aromatic profile of elegant nuances that dialogue and recall medlars, oranges, pineapple, mango, orange blossoms, elder and linden alternated with lavender, thyme, ginger and flint.
Palate: It grows softly and gently unfolding with the sure confidence of its fine essence and pleasant and vibrating acidity; lingering beyond all description, it affords its whirlwind of fine aromas to the mouth.
Characteristics: it is the result of the fortunate “marriage of love” of four fascinating and expressive grapes to make a modern yet ancient wine with a perfect, fragrant, almost crisp fruit, that embodies the luxurious wine-making of a new Sicily that is increasingly important throughout the world.
