Garesio 2016 – Nizza Riserva

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity with light garnet reflections. The nose is refined and offers complexity and accuracy. The first nose expresses notes of wet leaves, undergrowth, dried flowers (dried rose, dried cornflower) and a fine touch of white truffle in the background. We also find a fine and gourmand spiciness: notes of grilled vanilla, cinnamon, licorice and grated nutmeg. There is also a lovely freshness of wild mint and a gourmandise cherry in chocolate cherry and  chocolate with mint on the nose. The palate is savoury, very expressive and offers a beautiful complexity of flavors as well as a firm tannin structure (the tannins are grippy and smell at the end of the mouth). We also smell ripe and jammy fruits (black cherry, red cherry jam, crème de cassis, crushed blackcurrant, wild strawberry, crushed raspberry, blackberry jam), a touch of chocolate prune, cherry kirsch and spiciness. tasty (toasted vanilla, cinnamon, licorice, ground cumin, cloves, cumin seeds). The finish is persistent, sapid and offers a good level of acidity as well as fine tertiary notes (undergrowth, a touch of truffle and dried rose).
