Sommelier's Notes
Bright straw yellow color with golden reflections. The bouquet is complex and refined: citrus aromas of bergamot and cedar, notes of Mediterranean herbs, and mineral hints of volcanic ash and flint. On the palate, it is vibrant and savory, with enveloping freshness and a well-balanced structure. The finish is long and persistent, with returns of citrus, white flowers, and an elegant smoky trail.
