Clemente Blanc

A straw-yellow color with gold reflections. Crystal clear and thick. A complex bouquet, dominated by the expressive fruity aromas of ripe apples, peaches and pears, the floral aromas of acacia and field flowers, and the gentle aromas of roasted hazelnuts and hay.
It is fresh, warm, soft and salty. The taste is rich, rounded, and lasting. Extremely complex and elegant wine, the real "Istrian Burgundy".
