Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
Aurato shows a brilliant golden yellow color and nuances of golden yellow,
very transparent. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined
aromas which start with hints of raisin, quince and almond followed by
aromas of citrus fruits, hawthorn, dried fig, date, honey and pear. The
mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly sweet attack and good
roundness, appreciable crispness, however balanced by alcohol, good body,
intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of quince, citrus
fruits and almond. Aurato is produced with late harvested grapes and ages
for 4 years in steel tanks.
