After fermentation, the wine aged for 9 months in used 600L French oak barrels , gaining structure and elegance without losing freshness.
In the glass, it has a bright citrus color , with complex aromas of stone fruit, herbaceous notes, and a light, controlled oxidative touch . On the palate, it is lively and structured , with excellent acidity and a rich texture that lingers on the finish.
Pairing: Ideal with creative contemporary cuisine, grilled fish, white meats or soft cheeses.
