DONNA FRANCESCA IGP 2020

24,00 

Donna Francesca has a splendid gold color, the result of the maceration on the skins of the must obtained from specially selected Garganega grapes. The fragrance, initially austere, opens to reveal a seductive note of honey, from which emerge hints of ripe yellow fruit, such as peach and apricot, a hint of exotic fruits and the warm, sweet scent of broom and magnolia. All this is accompanied by a slight but constant oxidative note, the result of exposing the must to oxygen, which gives the wine its distinctive character. The palate is complex and full-bodied, with substantial alcohol and glycerin, which gives the wine a warm, rounded sensation. Its flavor is supported by an elegant, chalk-like minerality and by good fresh acidity. The long, persistence finish, with hints of yellow flowers and almonds, is very attractive. Donna Francesca is a wine with a strong personality. It is an exciting wine, both austere and delicate at the same time.
