Dark amber colour with golden hues. Sweet notes of acacia honey, dried fruit, citrus fruits and a slight hint of cinnamon on the nose. On the palate it is rich, soft and enveloping supported by a pleasant freshness that makes it lively and pleasant.

Excellent with cream-based desserts and dry pastries, as traditionally with Tuscan cantucci. It goes well with mature and fossa cheeses. Excellent meditation wine.
