The 2012 Virolet is a young, unoaked white produced with Xarello grapes, which matured in vat for five months in contact with the lees. It displays a bright pale yellow color with aromas of yellow plums and white pepper. The palate is dense and fresh with clean flavors, good acidity and persistence and a pleasant, slightly bitter finish. Drink now-2016.
