Appearance: Intense golden-yellow with greenish reflections; clear and luminous. Medium-bodied with a dense and radiant look.
Aroma: Inside the elegant and aromatic nose we recognize white blossoms, citrus fruit (lime, grapefruit), green apple, and notes of tropical fruit (pineapple, mango), complemented by a slight toasty minerality and a hint of iodine/ioda. The nose is complex and gently spiced.
Palate: On the palate the wine is dry, medium-bodied with spectacularly lively acidity and an intense mineral note. Fruit flavors (citrus, white orange, tropical fruit) bring structure. The texture is silky; the wine is both robust and lean, with a long iodine-like mineral finish.
Finish: A long-lasting and elegant finish: the fruitiness develops into a salty-mineral memory with an iodous background. Exceptionally well balanced; structure and freshness together create elegance for aging.
