The wine is light as a feather on the nose, unoaked, zesty mostly but also with limited, subtle aromas of melons and Bergamot. The palate, even if still fine, has more precise flavors, tangerine and citrus fruits dominate. It shows simplicity, no oak, lees nor MLF. Beside a mild creamy texture and moderate alcohol, it’s pretty straightforward altogether. The acidity holds the finale decently. It’s not lingering but has some length to it.
