Terra di Seta 2020 – Chianti Classico Riserva

(organic) The wine has a deep ruby color. On the nose, it is closed and requires aeration. It then expresses delicate aromas of roasting (toasted hazelnut, a hint of chocolate), dried herbs (dried rosemary, dried mint) and spices (liquorice, a hint of nutmeg and a very light touch of cinnamon in the background), wrapped in a juicy fruity substance (crushed raspberry, wild strawberry, cranberry syrup, a hint of red cherry) and associated with a mineral framework (dry stone, a hint of limestone). The palate expresses bitterness on the attack (coffee, grapefruit), then tangy fruits (cranberries, red cherry, raspberry, tangy strawberry). There are also touches of liquorice, nutmeg and toast, as well as a limestone mineral framework. The tannins have a fine but tight grain, balanced by a lively acidity. The finish is medium-length, with bitterness of cocoa and bergamot.
