Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
The wine shows a deep ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little
transparency. The nose reveals in tense, clean and pleasing aromas which
start with hints of blackberry jam and black cherry jam followed by aromas
of dried violet, tobacco, vanilla, licorice, cinnamon, chocolate, mace and
pink pepper. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a sweet
attack and slightly tannic, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense
flavors, good tannins. The finish is persistent with flavors of blackberry
jam and black cherry jam. This Recioto ages for 18 months in barrique
followed by 12 months of aging in bottle.
