Saint’Evasio 2018 – Nizza Riserva

The wine has a ruby color with light garnet reflections. The nose is tasty, fragrant, with delicate tertiary notes (undergrowth, faded rose, peony, tobacco, leather, truffle in the background), subtle and integrated. We also find notes of sweet spices (cinnamon, vanilla, licorice, grated nutmeg), dried red fruits (dried cherry, dried raspberry) and fresh fruits (griotte, wild strawberry, crushed raspberry, blackcurrant) and flowers. fresh (violet, lily). The palate is savoury, mellow and velvety, with a straight tannin structure, but supple and soft, enveloped in a juicy and ripe fruitiness. We find more flavors of fresh fruit than dried or candied ones: wild strawberry, fresh morello cherry, crushed blackcurrant, juicy blackberry, crushed raspberry, dried strawberry, cherry jam, combined with notes of chocolate with mint, fresh flowers ( peony, lilac, rose) and sweet spices (fresh vanilla, cinnamon, grated nutmeg, cloves). Beautiful persistence on the palate, which expresses elegant and refined tertiary notes (truffle, tobacco, wilted flowers), as well as a gourmand touch of chocolate and mint. Beautiful balance, complexity, depth, acidity, all finesse and balance.
