The wine has the light, tropical, floral and somewhat waxy characteristics of Macabeu, from which the wine is made plus the nutty, high-acid notes of a Rancio, where elevage in partially-filled barrels creates an oxidative environment. Bottled at an average of six years of age, the "Demon di Midi" (noonday demon) takes on notes of almond, garrigue. honey and leather, with distinct saline/umami flavors emerging at the finish. Drink chilled and neat as an aperitif with strong cheeses like Roquefort, Bleu d’Auvergne or Reblochon.
