Tenuta Bricco San Giorgio, Caranti 2020 – Nizza

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is gourmand, fleshy with a very ripe fruity, even a bit sweet. It expresses notes of roasted red cherry, chocolate cherry, juicy morello cherry, fresh blackcurrant, wild strawberry, raspberry coulis, redcurrant jelly, as well as a refreshing menthol side, a touch of peppermint, licorice, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla, as well as a fine roasted side (mild coffee, toasted hazelnut, toasted oak), cocoa and a fragrant floral bouquet (cornflower, lily, rose dried). The palate offers energy, an assertive tannic structure, as well as a fleshy and delicious fruity side. We find notes of wild strawberry, juicy morello cherry, red cherry jam, redcurrant jelly, wild blackberry, fresh blackcurrant and blackcurrant jam, refreshed by a minty side, notes of peppermint and a beautiful salivating acidity. We also find a delicate but perceptible spicy side, notes of licorice, clove and nutmeg, associated with floral notes (violet, lily, rose) and a hint of fresh tobacco and dark chocolate in the background. The finish is quite persistent, fresh and tangy, but fruity, round and gourmand at the same time.
