Fattoria La Ripa 2020 – Chianti Classico

(organic) The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose offers intensity, concentration and juiciness. It expresses notes of bigarreau cherry, morello cherry, wild strawberry, ripe raspberry, crushed red currant, a touch of cranberries, as well as notes of dried aromatic herbs (thyme, rosemary), dried rose and a subtle minerality (limestone, dry gravel) in the background. The palate is juicy, chiseled and straight. It expresses notes of fresh red cherry, morello cherry, red currant, cranberries, strawberry and raspberry, as well as touches of dried rose, thyme, rosemary and fresh tobacco. The tannins are enveloping, silky and melted, with a fine powdery touch of cocoa. Nice acidity, a well-built tannic structure, balance, freshness and gourmandise. The finish is persistent, with gourmand notes of candied red cherry. An airy and pleasant wine.
