Wine description | It has long fermentation in barrel gives Tiara 2013 a very complex, deep, and mineral aroma. Very discreet in the notes of stone fruits, citrus and with light medicinal notes. Very vibrant in the mouth, with a very unique style, where sugar and acidity are in perfect harmony. Fresh, light and very accurate, with a strong mineral component.
