Tasting notes

Deep golden yellow with amber reflections. Rich ripe apricot fruit with a muscat-like root, balsamic wood adding spicy and toasted notes. Rich and creamy on the palate, sweet but also alcoholic, fruity and honeyed, with a fresh acid vein and a very long finish.

Pairs well with

Typical local desserts such as hazelnut cake, meliga biscuits with zabaione, panettone, and also crema catalana or torta diplomatica.
