Golden colour with a touch of brown. Fine and complex nose with hints of flor, caramel, salt, nuts and apricot. Good body. Fruitier than a fino, but with the same hints of flor. Hints of apricot, citrus and caramel. Nicely balanced with good acids. Fresh style. Long taste with hints of caramel and wood in the finish. Very good wine. Great QPR.

Golden colour with a slight greenish hue. The nose shows flor, caramel, salt sea and dried flowers. Dry and crisp Vernaccia in the mouth. Yet powerful with some glycerin noticable. Fine hints of flor and caramel-notes as well as dried flowers. Slimmer style than Contini's other vernaccias. Crisp and nutty finish. Very fine wine.
