Cantina Astroni, Tenuta Camaldoli – Piedirossi 2017, Riserva – Campo Flegrei

The nose is elegant and offers a fine power, a discreet spicy side, a fine textured side as well as a small raw-racy side. It reveals notes of fresh wild blackcurrant and small notes of fresh cherry associated with touches of violet as well as slight hints of nutmeg, fresh sage and a discreet hint of racy spices. The mouth is fresh, well-balanced, nicely racy and offers juiciness, suavity, energy, a nice dynamism, a polished side, a stretched side as well as verticality. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of tangy red cherry, small fresh/crunchy red berries and small notes of racy minerality associated with touches of juniper berries, fine hints of a sense of place (local biotop), a discreet almost sage hint, licorice stick as well as a very discreet almost black olive hint and tonka bean (in the background). Tannins are racy and supple. Beautiful juiciness and freshness.
