Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
This Roero shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing, refined
and elegant aromas that start with hints of cherry, raspberry and violet
followed by aromas of plum, cyclamen, rose, vanilla, tobacco, cocoa,
cinnamon, licorice, menthol and hints of leather. The mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however
balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent
with flavors of cherry, plum and raspberry. A well made wine. Roero
Valmaggiore ages for 24 months in barrique followed by 12 months of aging
in bottle.
