Garesio, Gavelli 2019 – Nizza

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is slightly smoky and meaty, savoury and spicy: it expresses notes of grated nutmeg, licorice, crushed vanilla pod, cloves, as well as gourmand notes of mint chocolate, cinnamon (in the background), a fine floral bouquet (dried rose, peony, lotus), combined with a fresh and slightly tangy fruitiness. We find in particular notes of wild strawberry, fresh raspberry, crushed blackcurrant, fresh morello cherry and red cherry jam, as well as a touch of crème de cassis and wild mint. The palate is generous, savoury and gourmand. It expresses notes of wild strawberry, raspberry coulis, fresh morello cherry, red cherry jam, blackberry and crushed blackcurrant, as well as mint chocolate, peony, fresh rose and sweet spices (toasted vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, grated nutmeg). The tannins are a bit rough and grippy, but wrapped in a fruity substance. The acidity is supple and pleasant. Good persistence with notes of chocolate cherry and cocoa. A rich and warm wine.
