Wine description | It is a wonderfully intense pale gold in colour, with light amber glints. The delicate, lively froth forms a fine creamy ring. The nose reveals subtle and melting initial woody notes. This is followed by mingled aromas of bread and milk, baking bread, panettone, candied citrus fruit and orange zest.
