Marenco 2020 – Nizza Riserva

The wine has a deep ruby color. The nose is reserved and requires aeration. It expresses notes of red cherry, morello cherry, garriguette strawberry, raspberry jam, fresh crushed blackcurrant, blueberry, blackberry, as well as dried mint, fresh oregano, menthol, rosemary, a fine spicy side (licorice, vanilla, nutmeg), as well as violet and fresh cornflower, with a slight note of fresh tobacco and toasted hazelnut in the background. The palate is fragrant, with pleasant fresh notes of menthol and peppermint in the attaque. We then find the juicy red fruits (wild strawberry, morello cherry, red cherry jam, fresh blueberry, crushed blackcurrant, raspberry), as well as a floral side (violet, peony, iris) and spicy (licorice, nutmeg, a hint of vanilla and cinnamon). The finish is persistent, gourmand and adds notes of cocoa, caramelized hazelnut and chocolate cherry to the bouquet. The tannins are structured, but have a velvety, fine and silky texture. Beautiful salivating acidity, the finish is tasty, with notes of sweet spices (nutmeg, cloves) and the freshness of tangy red cherry.
