We recommend the selection proposed to the panel, the very good Extra Virgin Amfiterra - Leccino, which is a beautiful intense limpid golden yellow colour with delicate green hues. Its aroma is ample and rotund, endowed with fragrant hints of mint and rosemary, together with spicy notes of cinnamon, black pepper and distinct almond. Its taste is fine and harmonic, with a vegetal flavour of artichoke, wild chicory and lettuce. Bitterness is distinct and pungency is present and well balanced.
