Tasting Notes & Experience
A pale gold hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose reveals delicate aromas of fresh citrus and white flowers, unfolding into notes of vine peach and white fruit. On the palate, it achieves perfect harmony — crisp and lively yet rounded — with a beautifully lingering finish of subtle fruit and gentle minerality. Elegant, angular, and classic in every sense.
