460 Casina Bric, Fossati 2020 – Barolo

The wine has a pale ruby color. The first nose is aromatic, herbaceous and floral. It expresses notes of hay, dried peppermint, rose leaf, bay leaf, dried rose, a touch of peony and lilac. On the second nose, we find gourmet notes of torrefaction (coffee, chocolate, toasted hazelnut), sweet spices (roasted vanilla, a touch of cinnamon, nutmeg) and cherry in chocolate, combined with aromas of ripe fruit (griotte, blackberry, dried blackcurrant, strawberry, crushed raspberry, plum cream). The palate offers a straight and firm structure, a gripping but fine texture of tannins, a beautiful acidity and a long and gourmand finish, with notes of cherry in chocolate and cocoa. It also expresses the flavors of ripe morello cherry, dried red cherry, raspberry, dried strawberry, blackcurrant, sweet spices (liquorice, a touch of toasted vanilla), torrefaction (coffee, toasted hazelnut) and flowers ( dried rose, fresh peony). Beautiful power and structure, with volume and gourmandise of fruit.
