Fratelli Abrigo, Ravera 2020 – Barolo

The wine has a pale ruby color. The first nose expresses meaty and smoky notes, which disappear after aeration. We then find tasty notes of dried herbs (dried rosemary, dried mint, a touch of fresh bay leaf and tobacco), sweet spices (licorice, ground cumin, pink pepper berries), a delicate floral touch (withered rose , dried peony), as well as juicy and tangy fruity aromas (raspberry, fresh bigarreau cherry, dried raspberry, dried blackcurrant). On the palate, the wine offers roundness, freshness, deliciousness and a silky and fine texture of tannins. It expresses notes of crushed blackcurrant, juicy red cherry, fresh raspberry, wild strawberry, crushed blueberry, as well as a tasty touch of smoked meat (very delicate), sweet spices (licorice, nutmeg , clove, white pepper), wilted rose, dried mint, as well as a subtle note of roasting (coffee, toasted hazelnut) and chocolate. The finish offers deliciousness (we find notes of chocolate cherry), a warm side, as well as a nice acidity.
