A relatively new acquisition for Marco de Grazia sees vines planted in Milo at 600-750m above sea level. Fermented and matured for nine months in 5hl and 10hl French oak botti, it has a classic oyster shell scent with lemon and orange peel nuance and some aromatic floral overtones. In the mouth it's bright and vivacious, offering a juicy mouthful of pineapple, lemon, peach, mango and yuzu in a structured framework of wood tannins and saline acidity. Superb.

Energetic aromas of lime, lemon zest and honeysuckle. Some dried pineapple, too. It’s full and layered but not heavy and shows tension and focus. 3,500 bottles made. Drink now.
