Characteristics of the POMINO Bianco DOC wine
The organoleptic examination shows a very clear and straw yellow color in the glass. The aromas on the nose recall the intensity of jasmine flowers and the fruity notes of apricot and quince. Even more exotic aromas of tropical fruit and a fresh cardamom flavor are released from the glass. The attack in the mouth is savory and lively, with an aftertaste reminiscent of ripe raspberry. Harmonic structure with a decidedly persistent finish.
