TASTING NOTES
Amber colour.
Fresh menthol notes with a touch of wood, orange, carob and the background with caramelized dried fruits. Intense fruit jam with a very pleasant bittersweet flavour. The robust acidity enhances the light dryness in the fresh balanced finish.
Excellent as an aperitif, accompanies well fresh fruit like pineapple or mango and cheese.
