Our panel recommends the selection proposed, the very good Extra Virgin Draga, which is a beautiful intense limpid golden yellow colour with delicate green hues. Its aroma is ample and rotund, endowed with vegetal hints of freshly mown grass, artichoke and chicory, together with aromatic notes of rosemary and mint. Its taste is elegant and complex, enriched with a vegetal flavour of fennel and a finish of black pepper and almond. Bitterness is definite and pungency is distinct and harmonic.
