A white wine of great personality, where the emblematic grape variety of Provence, the Rolle, is ennobled and sublimated by a blend of cuvées aged in amphorae and half-muids. Incredibly complex, this signature wine offers a mouth both ample and chiseled delivering a wide range of aromas of apricot, exotic fruits and jasmine enhanced by subtle touches of vanilla and ginger.
