Color: Honey.
Aroma: The nose is initially sweet and fruity, with clear notes from the Marsala casks, such as white grapes and honey. There are also hints of cloves, sandalwood, pastry-like aromas, and a subtle touch of leather.
Taste: On the palate, it is sweet with a light tart note that prevents it from becoming overly rich. Flavors of honey, raisin, peach, melon, and vanilla come forward, accompanied by a slight mineral undertone.
Finish: Light and easy-drinking, with toasted oak, hazelnut, white grape, honey, and a gentle touch of white pepper.
