Top Notes For
Ceccherini Cristiano

Had in May 2011 at home in Rome.
Pale straw yellow.
Delicate and gentle scents of pear, green apple, passion fruit, floral and mineral.
Very elegant and in line with what you'd look for.
Fleshy mouth, still in balance, little aromatic, without being tiring.
Wine that keeps changing in the glass, but it will evaporate earlier than it will be fully appreciated.
Very persistent

It was clear and bright lemon yellow.
The scents of opening were lemon, salty almond and nuts. While scent of a dried apricot, a sweet raisin, and a jam swelled gradually, a scent of tropical fruits, such as mango and pineapple was added, finally it changed to the scent of apple pie.
The wine had a fruits taste and fresh acidity, and the taste became tight by bitter taste.

Fantastic dry, dry and minerally. The finish is bright and acidity with lots of stone. A wonderful wine!
