Tasting Note
Golden-honey colour; intense floral and honeyed aromas of apricot, candied citrus and jasmine. Lush, sweet palate with fresh acidity, candied fruit and toasted-almond notes; long, spicy, honeyed finish.

Food Pairing
Western: foie gras, blue cheeses, almond tart, fruit tarts and crème brûlée. Asian: mango sticky rice, sesame balls, sweet red‑bean mochi, Chinese almond cookies; also excellent with mildly spiced dishes.

Production Method
Grapes undergo traditional asoleo (sun‑drying), pressed and slowly fermented (indigenous yeasts) in wooden vats, followed by ~20 months ageing in French oak barrels.

Vineyard Info
