The wine presents a focused aroma, showcasing intense notes of exotic passion fruit and ripe citrus fruits, accompanied by the characteristic flinty nuances that are typical of Pouilly-Fume. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied experience with a hint of spiciness and a white pepper finish, while maintaining its minerality and freshness.
