The color is a rich yellow with golden highlights.
On the nose pleasant notes of honey and peach syrup accompanied by hints of flowers white flowers and vanilla.
In the mouth it is a triumph of smoothness with balanced acidity and flavor. Wine of remarkable taste persistence.

At the table, white meat game or seafood gratin and lobster.
