It has a yellowish green colour, with a clean, intense aroma, which is surprisingly lively, reminding one of fresh green fruit
Tones of the tomato plant, grass, artichoke and apple can be appreciated and, to a lesser extent, a slight kiwi aroma
Its aromas are re affirmed in the mouth, with medium bitterness and a slight late bite

Arr niz variety:
