Cascina Guido Berta 2020 – Nizza

The wine has a bright ruby color, of medium intensity. The nose is smoky, even meaty at first, but benefits from aeration. It then expresses notes of morello cherry, tart red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, crushed wild blackberry, as well as a herbaceous touch (basil, thyme, bay leaf), balsamic, sweet spices (nutmeg, clove, licorice in the background) and flowers (violet, cornflower, dried rose). The palate is savoury, enveloping and reflects the meaty notes, which we find on the first nose. It then develops towards notes of crushed strawberry, morello cherry, juicy red cherry, raspberry and red currants, associated with notes of sweet spices (grated nutmeg, cloves, licorice), dried flowers (rose, cornflower, violet) and a touch of cherry in chocolate in the background. The tannins are soft and supple, with a fine and velvety texture. Good acidity and good persistence. A savoury and gourmand wine.
