Its aroma is rotund and ample, with rich vegetal notes of artichoke and chicory, thistle and lettuce, together with distint fragant hints of mint and rosemary. Its taste is full and complex, with a flavour of field herbs and a distinct note of black pepper and almond. Bitterness is strong and pungency is definite and harmonic.
