Renato's notes
Tasting notes:
Beautiful light blond colour with hints of ash.
A rich aromatic nose characterised by ripe white fruits.
On the palate spring flowers with a long 'mineral' finish
Drinking advice:
Ideally consumed chilled at 14 deg. C. Can be consumed either as an aperitif, but also to accompany a meal. It is excellent with fish, shell fish and white meats. A wine to be laid down, and which will become more round and supple with age. Can be drunk 2 - 3 years after bottling, but for many tastes will be better after a couple more years in bottle.
