Frasca, La Guaragna 2020 – Nizza

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is gourmand, fruity and finely spicy. It expresses distinct and savoury sweet spicy notes: grated nutmeg, cloves, fresh licorice stick and cumin grains, combined with notes of ripe fruit (strawberry, morello cherry, raspberry, red plum, fresh blackcurrant), wild mint, as well as dried rose, rosehip, lilac, as well as a toasted and smoked touch in the melt. The palate is delicious, fruity and enveloping, even with slightly sweet and jammy flavors. It expresses notes of crushed wild strawberry, raspberry, raspberry jam, crème de cassis, morello cherry jam and fresh morello cherry, combined with notes of chocolate cherry, mint chocolate, licorice, clove, ground nutmeg, and fine floral notes (rose, lilac, rosehip). The tannins are very fine, structured, slightly grippy, but silky and enveloped. The finish is quite persistent, delicious, sapid, slightly spicy, with a nice refreshing acidity.
