Taste Description
Wine is an infinite team game. From our grandparents who have identified the grape varieties, the soil of exaltation of the same, to the nature that has recommended the best winemaking practices, to the modern winery, to the "sommellerie", to the wine shops, to the catering. We propose you to participate in this infinite and ancient game: using your specific and personal sensory attitudes, we ask you to describe the organoleptic characteristics of the wine of this bottle. Certain that the sense of smell and taste are inextricably linked to a person's points of reference, we prefer not to influence you, but to gather your evaluations: a small and pleasant effort can serve to better understand and communicate the characteristics of this "modern antique" white wine.
