Ortice shows a beautiful yellow with sharp green reflections, slightly clouded. To smell offers ample and elegant, with rich notes of ripened olives, fresh tomatoes, unripe apples, wild herbs. The taste of fruit at the start of the ripening process is unmistakable; the relation between sweet and sharp is excellent and the tangy flavour is perfectly balanced by the piquant overtones.
