The brand has a premium positioning evident in every detail, from the selection of wines to the final presentation of the product itself, particularities that make all the difference, the paradigm of a unique product with centuries of tradition.

Remarkable golden brown color, with an orange rim. The nose is wonderfully aromatic, with a myriad of aromas, recalling vanilla, butterscotch and marmalade, combined with spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. In the mouth it is velvety, with an elegant and balanced structure. Nuances of honey, sultanas and caramel, perfectly balanced by a distinguishing acidity. The finish is unforgettably long, with dried fruits that linger on the palate.
