Aromatics of delicate white flowers, soft peach, lime, and vanilla brioche conjure up Mediterranean sunshine. A Generous palate brims with noticeable acidity intertwined with elegant savoury and mineral notes reflective of the Salento, a limestone peninsula that divides the Adriatic and Ionian seas.
