The term "curtimenta" refers to a style of winemaking that involves skin contact, which imparts additional texture and complexity to the wine. The wine has a golden yellow hue, a sign of its skin contact during fermentation. The nose is aromatic with intense, ripe fruit notes of apricot, peach, and citrus, paired with a subtle touch of honey and floral nuances. There may also be a slight hint of herbal or earthy notes, typical of skin-macerated wines.
The wine has a rich, textured mouthfeel due to the skin contact, with flavors of dried fruits like apricot and orange zest. There is a pleasant minerality and a slight tannic grip, giving it an intriguing structure. Hints of spice and herbal complexity come through, adding to the wine's depth.
The finish is long and persistent, with lingering citrus zest and a refreshing acidity that balances the wine's richness.
