The nose reveals a rich bouquet of floral scents along with typical subtle aromatic notes of the moscato.

The structure in the mouth has fine and charming tannic weave. It also reveals slightly spicy notes and leaves a pleasant and persistent aftertaste.

This wine will be the ideal accompaniement for a hard cheese such as pecorino or parmigiano as well as white meats and grilled fishes.
