Castino, Gemma 2020 – Nizza

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The first nose is fragrant and expresses distinct floral and herbaceous notes (rose, lily, fresh cornflower, fresh tobacco, wild mint), associated with a savoury spiciness side (grated nutmeg, cloves, licorice, crushed coriander seeds). We then find notes of fresh morello cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry coulis, crushed blueberry, crushed blackcurrant, as well as a touch of coffee and mint chocolate, as well as chocolate cherry. The palate is juicy and fresh. It expresses notes of fresh morello cherry, crushed blackcurrant, wild strawberry, raspberry coulis, as well as sweet spices (vanilla, licorice, ground cumin, ground nutmeg), a touch of chocolate (chocolate cherry, mint chocolate) and a floral hint (rose, lily, peony) and a touch of toasted hazelnut on the finish. The tannins are fine, sapid, firm, but enveloped, with a silky texture. The finish offers freshness, thanks to a good level of acidity and gourmandise of chocolate cherry. A harmonious, supple and concentrated wine.
