Select yeasts are added to the must obtained from the vinification of slightly dried grapes. Short after the beginning of the fermentation, wine spirit is added to stop the fermentation.

Bouquet: aromatic, typical with a clearly identifiable fragrance of candied orange and mandarin peel.

Taste: sweet, full-bodied, warm and embracing with a clear-cut aroma.
