White Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✧

The wine shows a beautiful and intense straw yellow color and nuances of golden yellow, very transparent. The nose reveals personality with intense, clean, pleasing, elegant and refined aromas which start with aromas of honey, hawthorn and apricot followed by good aromas of pineapple, chamomile, quince, hazelnut, saffron, pear, peach, grapefruit and almond as well as a pleasing hint of aromas of noble rot. In the mouth has excellent correspondence to the nose, a round and crisp attack however well balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors and very agreeable. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of chamomile, pear, honey and almond. A very well made wine. Balciana is produced with late harvest grapes.
