Merk: Bigi

Gradatie : 12,0%

The same grapes as the “secco” style are vinified in steel tanks and the fermentation is arrested as soon as a pleasing residue of natural sugar has been reached. The wine, with a bright, pale gold colour, is notable for its strong bouquet of wild flowers, honey and musk, with hints of bitter almonds; it has a medium sweet flavour, very soft, but fresh and lively with a gentle aftertaste of ripe fruit.
