La Fortezza – 2019 Aglianico del Taburno

Pretty, elegant nose, powerful and delicate at the same time. Beautiful intensity, beautiful power in elegance and good structure. There are notes of bright cassis, brilliant cherry and small notes of small blue berries, associated with touches of small brilliant red fruits, gray pepper, Punjabi pepper, as well as fine hints of colas, sage and spices. The palate is well-built, fruity, fresh, mineral, balanced and offers a tangy frame, a certain tension, precision, suppleness, elegance, a certain elegant austerity and juiciness. A lovely textured wine, finely creamy and deep. A lovely harmony and melodious side to its racy power. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of bright cassis, brilliant bigarreau cherry and small notes of fresh/brilliant blueberry, combined with touches of bright/fresh raspberry, fine hints of fresh flowers, colas, sweet tobacco, as well as a subtle hint of black olive, chocolate/toasted, a hint of Bourbon vanilla, roasted-elegant fruit and lovely/discreet peppery hints. A subtle hint of rosemary in the background. The tannins are precise, elegant and gourmand. A wine of balance and elegance.
