The wine has a beautiful straw yellow color with greenish reflections, it is crystal clear and partly gusto.Na smell is expressed typical varietal bouquet of acacia blossom, then come citrus notes as the notes of orange, but looming and little lime .After some time opens and notes of peach which is mixed with nectarines.
