Appearance: Intense, light straw yellow with golden reflections; delicate clear color and medium body. Brilliant to the eye with a dense, creamy structure.
Aroma: Very complex aroma: ripe pears, lemon blossoms, sage, and light spicy notes. Floral and fruity layers provide elegance, while a powdery mineral edge adds depth.
Taste: Medium body, creamy texture, and full structure. Notes of pears, almonds, and mild citrus acidity are complemented by a salty mineral sensation. Finishes with a hint of fennel or anise.
Finish: Long-lasting and harmonious aftertaste, where fruitiness (pears, peaches), oaky saltiness, and minerality form a balanced finish. The wine appears elegant, refined, and fresh – like a very ripe Pinot Grigio with the potential to develop for a few years in the bottle.
