Guasti, Laficaia 2020 – Nizza

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is reserved and discreet (the wine benefits from being airy). It expresses notes of garriguette strawberry, fresh raspberry, red currants, morello cherry and red cherry jam, with a touch of fresh blueberry. We also find delicate floral notes (iris, peony, rose), a hint of wild mint and a fine spiciness (grated nutmeg, cloves, liquorice, a fine touch of vanilla) and a hint of toasted hazelnut. The palate offers freshness and an airiness, as well as gourmandise and a savoury spiciness. We find notes of clove, grated nutmeg, toasted vanilla (in the background), licorice, as well as a hint of toasted hazelnut, flowers (peony, violet, iris) and juicy ripe fruits (morello cherry, wild strawberry, red cherry, raspberry coulis, blueberry). The tannins are well structured, fine, but firm. The finish is warm, gourmand and supple, but quite fresh.
