Description
Brilliant, vivid golden color that captures the light with warm reflections. On the nose, it opens with Mediterranean aromatic herbs—thyme, sage, and wild fennel—interwoven with elderflower and chamomile. Notes of lime, bergamot, and candied citrus emerge, with balsamic nuances and resinous hints. On the palate, the entry is fresh and vibrant, with a vertical acidity and a fine tannic texture that provides grip without weighing it down. The savory character accompanies a precise, juicy fruit, enhancing both elegance and persistence. A wine that combines complexity and lightness, capable of stirring emotion through its radiant freshness and mineral poetry that invites continuous sipping.
