Famiglia Zingarelli, Tenuta Le Macìe, Sergioveto 2020 – Chianti Classico Riserva

The wine has a medium-intensity ruby color with very light garnet reflections. The nose is savoury, spicy and fragrant. It expresses notes of fresh tobacco, balsamic, black olive, a touch of basil, as well as a smoky note of oregano, fine aromas of sweet spices (clove, nutmeg, white pepper), combined with notes of tangy fruits: red cherry, red currant, raspberry, crushed blueberry, blackcurrant and fresh herbs (cut thyme, bay leaf), as well as a very delicate note of coffee in the background. On the palate, the wine offers complexity, juiciness and a firm tannic structure, balanced by a salivating acidity. It expresses notes of tart fruits: red cherry, cranberry, cranberries, raspberry and red currant, combined with a touch of blueberry and blackcurrant. In the mid-palate, we find spicy notes of white pepper, clove and nutmeg, a slight bitterness of coffee, as well as notes of faded rose, fresh tobacco, basil (in the background) and a hint of smoke. The finish is persistent, juicy and finely spicy, which ends with a good bitterness. Complexity, power, a dry but integrated tannic structure. A straight and firm wine, with good potential.
