Right from the first sip, Ladaltempo N°1 displays a perfect balance between a marked softness, pleasant freshness and savouriness supported by a solid structure, giving evidence of an exceptional character and great refinement. The hue is a bright straw-yellow with clear greenish highlights and a fine, elegant perlage that contributes to recreating a creamy note in the glass.
To the nose, the aroma is a blend of white fruit and dried apricot. The fruity bouquet hinges on intense sensations of dried figs and white peach, giving way to floral hints of jasmine, green tea and delicate nuances of camomile in bloom. To finish, notes of vanilla and face-powder.
Savoury and fresh, the finale in the mouth is pleasurably long and persists over a wide range of notes of ripe fruit.
