Durio Pragerolamo 2020 – Nizza

The wine has a deep ruby color. The nose is gourmand, fruity, with a nice freshness of menthol. It expresses notes of juicy morello cherry, wild strawberry, fresh raspberry, blackberry, wild plum, fresh purple fig, roasted red cherry and dried blackcurrant, combined with notes of wild mint, eucalyptus, with a refined spicy side (grated nutmeg, cloves, licorice, a touch of vanilla), as well as a floral bouquet (rose, violet, dried peony). The palate is full, gourmand and fruity, with a firm but elegant tannic structure. The flavors are juicy and gourmand: we find notes of wild strawberry, blackberry, crushed blackcurrant, red cherry jam, crème de cassis, as well as mint chocolate, menthol, chocolate cherry, cloves, nutmeg, a touch of cinnamon and licorice. The finish is persistent, chocolatey, with a nice acidity. Freshness and balance on the palate, the high alcohol level is integrated and practically imperceptible (we just feel a warming touch which appears in the finish).
