The wine:

Straw yellow colour with a fine and persistent perlage. In the nose is fragrant with citrus, berry and white peach, pear, mirabelle plum, green apple. Followed by scents of orange blossom, acacia, jasmine, sugared almond and light notes of marzipan. Streamlined and dynamic, well-timed by a creamy effervescence that highlights a fruity freshness. Tasty and enjoyable at the end of the mouth with clementine flavours.
