Bianco Angelo, Bricco Cova 2020 – Nizza Riserva

The wine has a deep ruby color. The nose is fragrant, spicy and expresses sweet notes of very ripe fruit, torrefaction and sweet spices. We find in particular notes of morello cherry, roasted red cherry, red cherry jam, crème de cassis, wild blackberry, crushed wild berries and raspberry jam, associated with notes of caramel, caramelized hazelnut (even praliné), toasted almond, toasted oak, chocolate cherry, mint chocolate, as well as dried mint, licorice, cloves, nutmeg, as well as peony, iris and fresh rose. The palate is generously fruity, oaky and caramelised. It expresses notes of caramelised hazelnut, toasted almond, chocolate cherry, chocolate prunes, vanilla, toasted coconut, cinnamon, grated nutmeg, combined with very ripe, even jammy fruits (juicy morello cherry, blackcurrant cream, crushed blackcurrant, red cherry jam, wild strawberry, raspberry jam), as well as chocolate with mint, iris and peony. The finish is warm (the alcohol level is high, but rather integrated), toasted and caramelised. Beautiful acidity, which refreshes the fleshy side of the end and nice persistence on the palate.
