The word of the wine: Fruity
A wine whose nose is first characterized by aromas reminiscent of the world of fruit. A wine to be drunk young is essentially fruity, but all wines offer this type of aroma in the first place, which can evolve over time, from the scent of fresh fruit to cooked, stewed, candied or brandied fruit.
