"Che bella la delicata essenza sensoriale di questo giovane bianco che genera ricordi e piacevoli emozioni nella pulizia delle note di gerani, petali di rosa succo di mandarino e lavanda in fiore. Corpo medio-pieno, maturo e bilanciato al palato mostra un palato armonico e bilanciato che resta dolce e gentile durante la progressione manifestando una delicata opulenza ossimoro da sempre amato che rende grande i grandi vini. Bevi ora o invecchia."
