Tasting Notes
Upon visual examination the sample is limpid, amber yellow in color with golden reflections, consistent.
On the nose, a scent of ripe yellow-fleshed fruits is released, almost caramelized, notes of honey, hints of toasted hazelnuts, almonds and with a delicate nuance, in the finish, of white chocolate.
The sip is rich, opulent, and pleasant. A perfect balance in the various components, where freshness and flavor come together in unison. Very persistent and with a long finish, it gives its harmony of flavors.
It is recommended in combination with blue cheeses and traditional Sardinian sweets.
