Conte Guicciardini, Belvedere Campóli 2020 – Chianti Classico Riserva

(organic) The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose expresses juicy fruit and a woody hint in the opening aromas of red cherry, morello cherry, fresh cranberries and crushed raspberry, macerated red cherry in the background, associated with notes of fresh wood, toasted wood and toasted hazelnut. After aeration, we also find a floral scent of lily and rose, savory spices (coriander seeds, cumin, vanilla), as well as a herbaceous touch of tobacco and a mineral touch of dry stone. The palate combines juiciness, freshness and gourmandize, as well as a savory spiciness. It expresses notes of juicy morello cherry, fresh red cherry, roasted red cherry, crushed raspberry and wild strawberry, fresh licorice, crushed coriander seeds and vanilla. The mid-palate also features notes of dried tobacco (even a very delicate hint of undergrowth), dried rose and lily, as well as roasted bouquet garni and a mineral undertone of dry stone. The tannins display a beautiful, solid structure and a fine texture. The acidity is lively and mouth-watering, adding energy to the wine. The finish is persistent, savory, and gourmand with notes of chocolate, toasted hazelnut, and morello cherry.
