Colle Corviano 2016 – Montepulciano D’Abruzzo

The nose is fruity, a bit gourmand and offers concentration, power as well as a good maturity. It reveals notes of black cherry, ripe red berries, blueberry and small notes of fleshy strawberry associated with a touch of cassis, licorice as well as discreet hints of flowers, black olive and an imperceptible hint of spices / Cuben pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, a small acid frame, tension, a fine unctuosity, minerality, straightness, suavity, roundness, fleshiness as well as a very fine juiciness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of black cherry, fleshy cassis, juicy raspberry and touches of juicy/ripe red berries, juicy blueberry associated with subtle hints of juicy plum, liquorice, black olive as well as a very discreet touch of spices, chocolate (in the background) and an imperceptible touch of blond tobacco (in the background). Tannins are well-built. Good length.
