Conti Guicciardini, Belvedere Campóli, Il Tbernacolo 2020 – Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

The wine has a deep ruby color, with slight garnet reflections. It benefits from aeration. The nose then expresses notes of ripe and fleshy fruits (juicy morello cherry, black plum, blackberry, fresh wood, blackcurrant jam), combined with a savory spiciness (liquorice, grated nutmeg, cumin), warm chocolate touches (chocolate morello cherry, dark chocolate with mint), as well as roasted notes (coffee, toasted hazelnut, heated wood, smoke), roasted and dried aromatic herbs (roasted bouquet garni, dried mint, tobacco), as well as a touch of dried rose and fresh rose petals, as well as a subtle, but distinct mineral framework (dry earth, limestone). The palate is airy, silky, enveloping, with a texture of chalky tannins and minerality on the attack (limestone, graphite). It then expresses fruity flavors (dried red cherry, fresh red cherry, morello cherry, wild strawberry, a hint of cranberry and raspberry), as well as dark chocolate with mint, coffee, toasted almond, bay leaf and dried tobacco, as well as a tangy and smoky touch of bergamot. The finish is persistent, with notes of graphite, cocoa and smoke, balanced by a hint of dried mint, as well as with a beautiful acidity and polished, but solid tannins. Tension and elegance.
