Fattoria Carpineta Fontalpino, Vigna Dofana 2019 – Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

(organic) The wine has a pale ruby color with slight garnet reflections. The nose offers a certain density in freshness and gourmandise. It expresses notes of juicy morello cherry, ripe red cherry, crushed blueberry, crunchy strawberry and raspberry, a racy mineral frame (dry stone, a hint of limestone in the background), associated with spicy (sweet pepper, nutmeg, liquorice), floral (peony, fresh rose, lilac) and herbaceous (peppermint, fresh tobacco) notes, completed by a touch of roasting (coffee, cocoa nibs, a hint of coffee) and a slight tertiary hint (wet leaves). The palate is juicy, enveloping, gourmet and airy. It expresses notes of morello cherry, crushed black plum, crushed strawberry, crushed raspberry, as well as dried cranberries in the background. There are also notes of fresh tobacco, dried mint, brewed tea, spices (nutmeg, liquorice, a light touch of cumin), flowers (dried rose, lilac, peony) and roasted notes in the background (toasted hazelnut, a hint of cocoa and sweet coffee). The tannins are firm, but with a very fine texture. Good length with a salivating acidity.
