Tasting Notes
The sample is consistent, bright, ruby red in color, not particularly intense.
The nose is very intense and complex in its scents. It opens with floral notes reminiscent of a potpourri of wildflowers, followed by fruity hints such as mulberry blackberry, red currant and black cherry jam, delicate nuances of Mediterranean scrub, cardamom and star anise, closing with toasted notes of hazelnut and delicate nuances of sandal.
On the palate it is full, precise and balanced in all its components. All olfactory perceptions are confirmed in the mouth. The tannin is velvety, fine. The persistence never seems to end, delicate toasting and perceptible fruity notes remain perfectly integrated and balanced in the mouth. Impossible not to repeat the tasting.
Although “young”, it is a wine of undisputed quality. In a few years it will be able to express itself with excellent quality. A sample to drink, but also to keep and forget for a few years, and then live it in its entirety.
It is recommended in combination with wild boar in dolceforte.
