Straw yellow with green reflections. Intense and complex aromas, the taste of sweet almonds blends with an interesting tropical bouquet thanks to the particular cultivation of the vine. The late vintage gives soft but tangy flavours.
- climate

The proximity of the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west is also important; cool sea breezes temper the drier, warmer temperatures on the coast, while the mountainous area is subject to various macroclimates despite being protected by the Apennines from the cold winds coming from the northeast.
- soil
