TASTING NOTES
In a typically subtle aromatic grape varietal, this ‘orange’ style Avesso which had skin contact for 12 days, extracted a wonderful bouquet of aromatic potencial. Its ageing of 1 year in the botlle resulted in well integrated tannins, which make this a gastronomic and well balanced wine.
