Decanter
Doria is a real ray of sunshine in the glass, with its straw-yellow color and silvery highlights, and its aromas of ripe yellow fruits and milk caramel. Spices and infusion notes add to the aromatic complexity. The attack is sweet and suave, with lots of subdued roundness. It develops notes of honey, lemon and roasted hazelnuts.
