Tasting Notes
Full yellow color, after 2 or 3 years in the bottle light golden shades come out. The nose has a strong intensity, immediately perceived many different aromatic herbs, above all sage and rosemary, then citrus scents and light notes of white fruit, peach and apple appear. Medium - bodied wine, this characteristic greatly increases its drinkability. The wine is extremely persistent and in line with the olfactory sensations. The finish is elegant thanks to a good acidity.

Lively, intense and persistent wine that needs to be tamed and contextualized. Tufjano is perfect when paired with well-spiced fatty fish, but also with white meats that have a good oiliness.
