Cascina Barisel, Vigna dei Pilati 2019 – Nizza Riserva

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is reserved, but expresses complexity and finesse. We find notes of juicy morello cherry, wild strawberry, crushed raspberry, wild blackberry, red currant jam, wild blackberry and a hint of crème de cassis, as well as blackcurrant jam. Then, the nose reveals notes of crushed wild mint, cut rosemary, bay leaf, a floral touch (violet, cornflower, field flowers), chocolate with mint, sweet spices (vanilla, a fine touch of cinnamon, ground cumin, licorice), torrefaction (caramel, toasted hazelnut, a touch of coffee). In the mouth, we find juiciness, fruit freshness and airiness. It expresses notes of blackcurrant jam, blackcurrant cream, crushed wild strawberries, juicy morello cherries, raspberry coulis, blueberry jam, as well as wild mint, rosemary, a touch of mint and sweet spices (ground cumin, nutmeg, licorice), a hint of torrefaction (mild coffee, toasted hazelnut), flowers (cornflower, violet) and notes of evolution, which appear in the finish (tobacco, dried flowers, damp leaves). The finish is straight, tight, but velvety, juicy and gourmand. Beautiful persistence and refreshing acidity.
