A lively tropical fruited youngster showcasing the Sardinian grape variety’s sunny disposition. If it was any sunnier, you’d need sunglasses. Brings the fruit salad bowl to life: white peach, pear, apple, citrus – plenty of citrus – with hay and honeysuckle. They all jostle and have fun on the palate controlled/wrangled/whipped into shape by juicy, bright acidity.
