WHY LAZULUM?
Latin name of a Lazurite, main mineral component of lapis lazuli, from whose grinding is obtained the prestigious and intense blue color used in medieval frescoes (For example, Michelangelo used it to fresco Cappella Sistina).
One of its more important deposits resides in between the valleys of Colli Albani.
Tasting Notes:
Sparkly yellow straw. Smell offers vegetal notes and mineral hints that give way to white pulp fruit with citrus perceptions.
Enveloping sip and good savory persistence.
