Let's imagine him resting in his bottle for seven years, in the darkness of a 4 km long cave, located at 2,000 meters above sea level and 450 meters below the mountain, conditions that allow a permanent temperature of 11 degrees and constant humidity of 90%. This process gives it its well-known intense golden colour, while the long refinement in the bottle allows it to develop spicy aromas with notes of cinnamon and ginger which take over from the basic hint of ripe exotic fruit.
