Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
Cratis shows an intense amber yellow color and nuances of amber yellow,
transparent. The nose reveals personality with intense, clean, pleasing,
refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of candied fruits, dried
fig and honey followed by aromas of caramel, chocolate, apricot jam, peach
jam, date, lavender, orange marmalade, walnut, citrus fruit peel and
vanilla. In the mouth has very good correspondence to the nose, a sweet
attack and pleasing smoothness, however well balanced by alcohol, full
body, intense flavors, very agreeable. The finish is very persistent with
flavors of date, apricot jam, caramel, honey and dried fig. A great wine.
Cratis is produced with dried Verduzzo Friulano grapes, ferments and ages
in barrique for 24 months followed by 6 months of aging in bottle.
