La Sala del Torriano 2020 – Chianti Classico Riserva

(organic) The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose offers tension, a savoury and expressive spicy and herbaceous touch (vanilla, liquorice, white pepper, grated nutmeg, dried mint, dried thyme, fresh bouquet garni), combined with a gourmet chocolate hint. The fruit on the nose is fresh and juicy, sweet and ripe. We find aromas of wild strawberry, morello cherry, crushed raspberry, blackcurrant and blackberry, combined with a hint of dark chocolate and roasting (toasted almond, coffee, toasted wood). The palate is fresh, precise and juicy, with a gourmet and fruity attack (red cherry, morello cherry, wild raspberry, wild strawberry), slightly sweet and harmoniously integrated roasting notes (toasted hazelnut, dark chocolate, tangy coca nibs), as well as sweet spices (liquorice, a hint of vanilla and white pepper). The tannins are velvety and enveloping, yet solid and well-built. The finish is persistent and sapid – it expresses flavors of ripe morello cherry, roasted red cherry, cocoa and roasted bouquet garni, along with a good coffee bitterness. It is precise, juicy and harmonious.
