'Tradition'
The history of Beaumes-de-Venise goes back to Roman times. This can be found in the famous encyclopedia by Pliny the Elder, wherein he calls the Muscat grapes ”The vine of the Bees”, because it made such a sweet and aromatic wine.
Aromatic, floral, and honeyed aromas of peach, white peach, apricot and dried fruits assails your olfactory glands as you deign to taste this elixir, called the ‘Nectar of the Gods’ in France. One does not need to wonder why the French Pope left Italy to return to his native land in the 14th century. The taste and texture are the reflection of the aromas: rich as honey, yet it is lighter, very smooth, and more enticing, since the wine’s finish is so delicious and balanced that it makes you want another sip.
