Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little
transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing, refined and
elegant aromas that start with hints of black cherry and plum followed by
aromas of blackberry, violet, licorice, vanilla, tobacco, cinnamon,
chocolate, black pepper and eucalyptus. The mouth has good correspondence
to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and good roundness, however well
balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, good tannins. The finish
is persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum and blackberry. A well
made wine. Fiore ages for 12 months in cask followed by 6 months of aging
in bottle.
