The nose is intense and particularly fine, with persuasive aromas of citrus fruits, dry pastries, freshly baked bread, delicate flowers such as magnolia and tulip. Notes of seaweed and white currant add to make an already rich prospect even more complex.
On the palate it is sharp and consistent, with freshness to draw the outline and make the structure firm, and the volume of the sip to give color and texture. Balanced and harmonious, it also has considerable persistence, including aromas of fruit, aromatic herbs and croissants.
Overall it is a valuable interpretation of the Italian Classic Method, capable of thrilling and surprising.
