The aspect of this fabulous wine of Tuscany shows an intense straw yellow colour. Its perfume recalls hints of yellow peach enriched by flowers and chamomile. The taste is characterized by soft sensations of mint, sage and almond that make this wine fresh and savoury, where the mineral structure dominates. The wooden aging gives smoothness, sweetness and a great persistence.
