Olivastri Tommaso – La Carrata 2013 – Montepulciano D’Abruzzo DOP

The nose is fruity, elegant, gourmand and offers richness. It reveals notes of wild strawberry, crushed blackberry, small notes of violet associated with small touches of chocolate, cassis, sense of the place and vanilla. The palate is fruity, juicy, mineral, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame and gourmandize. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crushed raspberry, fresh/juicy blackberry, small notes of fleshy/juicy plum associated with small touches of juicy blackberry as well as hints of chocolate, racy minerality and almond. Good length. A very discreet hint of hazelnut on the persistence.
