    Dulcedo Verduzzo Dolce
    Lison Pramaggiore D.O.C.

    Santa Margherita

    The brilliant yellow color with golden reflections seems to mirror the sunny character of the wine. At the base of the bouquet, a delectably honeyed, sweetish perception with tones of apricot jam and dried exotic fruit against a vanilla background. The palate immediately detects sweet, warm and soft sensations provided by a combination of alcohol and sugars but balanced by refreshing acidity, a component that gives Dulcedo remarkable equilibrium. A light vein of vanilla melds perfectly with fruity notes in pleasant succession. Powerful and at the same time delicate, the flavor transmits all its sweetness and complexity in a way that surprises.
