Viticcio 2019 – Chianti Classico Riserva

(organic) The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is fruity and offers a certain density in its aromas, as well as delicate tertiary notes (undergrowth, wet leaves, tobacco) and a racy minerality (limestone rock, an earthy nuance), associated with juicy fruity notes (morello cherry, wild strawberry, juicy red cherry, raspberry), as well as spiciness (liquorice, crushed cardamom, vanilla in the background, nutmeg), cocoa, herbaceous and floral notes (wild mint, rose, peony). The palate is precise, tangy and fruity on the attack. It expresses notes of red cherry, raspberry, morello cherry, cranberries and blueberries, associated with spicy hints (white pepper, liquorice, vanilla, cardamom) and  toast (coffee, toasted almond, dark chocolate). The finish is persistent, with a good bergamot bitterness, a mouth-watering acidity and fine but firm tannins. Complex and refined wine.
