Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
This wine shows an intense golden yellow color and nuances of golden
yellow, very transparent. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and
refined aromas which start with hints of plum, pineapple and toasted
followed by aromas of praline, vanilla, apple, hawthorn, honey and butter.
The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a crisp attack and pleasing
smoothness, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The
finish is persistent with flavors of plum, pineapple and praline. Furetta
ferments and ages in barrique for 9 months.
