Vidiano Aspros Lagos
- White
- Vidiano (100%)
Very nice golden color, with green and yellow hues. Its aroma is rich of white flowers and citrus fruits, with a delicate buttery bouquet of a slight beeswax scent, apricot, linden, and melon. Rich flavor that, while being aged in bottle, gets velvet, buttery and develops a dense apricot character. You can distinguish a seductive mineral flavor in the background. Superior, long-lasting aftertaste second to none, in apricot tones.
