Tasting notes
Color: Pale golden and clear, with light greenish reflections, revealing its youth and freshness.
Nose: The nose is expressive and intense, typical of Muscat Blanc, with aromas of fresh grapes, lychee, white flowers (jasmine, orange blossom), and citrus zest. Hints of white peach and exotic fruits enrich the aromatic bouquet.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is crisp and vibrant, with bright acidity. The flavors of exotic fruits and citrus fully bloom, supported by a slight minerality that adds balance. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a subtle sweetness, though this Muscat is vinified dry. Its freshness and aromatic complexity make it easy to enjoy, while maintaining elegance.
