Gentle yet unrelenting, it shines brightly for its elegance and body. Aristocratic and pure, it stands out among the great white wines grown at high altitudes. Palate: a matchless minerality. Marvelous for its rigorous style, it stands out for its force and roundness. a white mirroring the volcanic terroir of origin, expressing round and smooth profile on the palate. Characteristics: lavish, elegant and rigorous. It is a hallmark wine that embodies power and aristocratic smoothness. A perfect balance between acidity and freshness, an endless strength of minerality and saltiness. Special, unique and matchless.
