Baked apple creaminess with dried pineapple, mango and dried flowers – and the typical Sangiacomo, earthy funk – on the nose. A creamy/velvet yet lean entry loaded with melon and lemon curd, baked and fresh apples with lemon zest on the palate, all that is integrated with complex tertiary flavors of hazelnut that support a long and persistent finish.

Balanced and complex, this wine should age nicely for another 10+ years.
