Tasting note
Obtained from very carefully selected Chardonnay grapes, aged more than 10 years. Bright yellow colour with golden highlights and perlage that is extremely fine and persistent. On the nose intense and fragrant with hints of honey combined with notes of chocolate, spices and citrus fruits. On the palate elegant and well-balanced with nuances of acacia honey and hay well blended with floral notes. The finish is aristocratic and remarkably persistent.
