Tasting notes

This wine is brilliant straw yellow in colour, with greenish hints. On the nose it has aromas of almond blossoms and marzipan, with a touch of citrus. On the palate it is rounded and has flavours of ripe fruit perfectly balanced by a fresh, clean acidity that enhances its long length.

Vintage information

The 2022 vintage was characterized by a winter without significant rainfall, both snowy and rainy, and mild temperatures that led to an early but always dry spring. Prolonged below-average temperatures over the spring caused slow and stunted bud burst, followed by high temperatures in June which necessitated emergency irrigation in some vineyards where both the scarcity of substrate and the drainage capacity of the soil have made irrigation vital.
Due to the difficult conditions, the bunches were smaller, both in size and yield, however the 2022 vintage shows great balance and a pleasant minerality.
