Fattoria di Corsignano, L’Imperatore 2020 – Chianti Classico Riserva

(organic) The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is aromatic, flavorful, with an expressive spiciness. We find notes of black pepper, licorice, nutmeg, associated with a roasted hint (roasted red cherry, roasted aromatic herbs, roasted strawberry) and fleshy fresh fruits (morello cherry, red plum, raspberry, blackberry). It also expresses notes of roasting (toasted wood, toasted hazelnut, a hint of coffee) and aromatic herbs (rosemary, a touch of mint), associated with a touch of peony in the background. The palate is juicy, airy and flavorful. It expresses notes of tangy red cherry, morello cherry, raspberry and cranberries, associated with spicy (licorice, black pepper), toasted (hazelnut, toasted wood and fresh wood in the background), sappy and herbaceous touches (roasted bouquet garni). The tannins have a good, solid structure and fine grain, balanced by a mouthwatering acidity. The finish is persistent and slightly chocolatey, which adds gourmandise and sapidity to the wine.
