Description
Bright straw golden color. To the nose subtle perceptions of honey, ripe melon, yellow fruit, herbs on a vanilla background. In the mouth, the perceptions are confirmed and well balanced with pleasant freshness, softness and a good persistence. Perfect with traditional first courses ( Gricia, Carbonara) and white meats. Serve at a temperature of 10-12 degrees.
Curiosity
the label of this wine shows the Olmo district, where in the San Giovenale square we find the beautiful Romanesque Basilica of San Giovenale built in 1004 on a previous Etruscan temple consecrated to Jupiter, then transformed into an early Christian basilica dedicated to San Giovenale, the first bishop of Narni; and the church of St. Augustine founded in 1264 by the beggar friars of the same order; nowdaysy ispart of the Opera del Duomo Museum where we can admire the sculptural complex of the statues of the Apostles and The Saints Patron (late 16th and early 18th centuries) and the Annunciation (1603-1608) by Francesco Mochi.
