Tasting Notes
Crystal-clear, straw yellow in color with evident golden textures, consistent.
On the olfactory examination the bouquet of its scents is very intense, complex and fine. A scent of floral and fruity notes that inebriate the nose, broom flowers, apricots, medlar, melon with clear references to exotic fruit aromas. Notes of Mediterranean scrub: myrtle, oregano and nuances of wild fennel.
In the mouth the wine is perfect, bordering on excellence, perfectly balanced in its parts, it gives an almost infinite persistence of orange blossom and exotic fruit. Supported by a unique freshness and flavor, which sent to a new sip.
An icon wine, certainly among the best white wines on the national scene and beyond. With Fiorduva, Marisa Cuomo confirms the value and high quality of her production, a wine to drink at least once in a lifetime.
It is recommended in combination with structured fish dishes, but also ideal for relaxing moments with friends.
