Nose: The nose is intense and complex, dominated by aromas of tropical fruits (pineapple, mango), candied lemon, with floral hints and fresh herbal notes like boxwood.

Palate: On the palate, the wine is lively and fresh, with a lovely minerality. Flavors of tropical fruits, citrus, and white flowers blend with subtle oaky touches from well-managed oak aging. The finish is long, with a beautiful tension and remarkable aromatic persistence.

Aging Potential
