Vignamaggio, Terre di Prenzano 2020 – Chianti Classico

(organic) The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose offers aromas of tangy red fruits (bigarreau cherry, fresh raspberry, crunchy strawberry), juicy black fruits (blackcurrant, morello cherry, black plum), aromatic herbs (roasted bouquet garni, dried basil, dried thyme), black tapenade, dried rose, as well as a delicate peppery touch (white pepper) and a hint of bitter cocoa. We also find a distinguished minerality (dry stone), which appears on the second nose. The mouth offers a silky texture and gourmandise. It expresses notes of ripe morello cherry, fresh and roasted red cherry, raspberry coulis, ripe strawberry, black plum in the background and crushed blackcurrant, combined with nuances of Mediterranean herbs, fresh thyme, dried basil, bay leaf, as well as a touch of white pepper, dried rose and black tapenade. The finish is persistent and expresses velvety but firm tannins, the sweetness of the fruity substance, associated with notes of dark chocolate, as well as good bitterness, notes of dried flowers and a nice acidity. A gourmand and well-constructed wine.
