Bersano Generala 2018 – Nizza Riserva

The wine has a pale ruby color with very light garnet reflections. On the nose, the wine is reserved and requires aeration. We then find complexity and a lot of freshness and aromas of tangy black fruits: the wine expresses notes of fresh morello cherry, fresh crushed blackcurrant, tangy black cherry, wild strawberry, crushed raspberry, associated with notes wild mint, cut rosemary, dried rose, violet and cornflower. We also find a fine spiciness (licorice, ground cumin, grated nutmeg), toasted (toasted oak, caramel) and tertiary (tobacco, wet leaves and a touch of truffle in the background). The palate is juicy, supple, enveloping and airy, with firm tannins, but with a fine texture. It expresses notes of wild strawberry, juicy red cherry, morello cherry, fresh crushed blackcurrant, crushed raspberry, associated with a warm peppery side, with notes of sweet spices (licorice, ground cumin, cloves, a touch of vanilla), bitter cocoa, dried flowers (rose, violet, cornflower) and tertiary notes of tobacco, wet leaves and truffles. The finish is persistent, juicy, with a warming hint of sweet spices and chocolate, as well as a nice acidity. The tannins are structured, tight, but fine.
