Color: Intense golden yellow with an amber glow

Bouquet:
Nose: fine aromas of citrus flower honey, candied orange peel, dried figs, dates and peaches in syrup, in perfect harmony with the delicate scents of bay leaf, lemongrass, marjoram, sage, oregano and oriental spices.

Palate: an enchanting texture that unfolds almost in a whisper, with the class of its noble heritage; an expression of Sicily’s warm sun, enriched and caressed by subtle yet deep nuances of the sea and fruit that are both endearing and exciting.

Serving Suggestions: sweetness calls for sweetness, we therefore recommend serving it with an apple and raisin strudel straight from the oven, crème brûlée, a mille-feuille with vanilla mousse or a wonderful orange tart with lavender ice cream. Also excellent served with foie gras and full-flavoured blue-veined cheeses.
