Gianni_Doglia, Viti Vecchie 2020 – Nizza

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is fragrant, tasty and finely spicy and woody. It expresses notes of white pepper, grated nutmeg, licorice, associated with resinous touches of needles and pine sap, toasted almond and heated oak, with a very discreet touch of caramel and coconut in the background. The fruit on the nose is tangy and fresh: we find in particular the aromas of crushed blackcurrant, juicy morello cherry, red cherry, fresh raspberry, strawberry and fresh red currant. On the palate, the wine is gourmand, open, juicy and chiseled. It expresses notes of fresh blackcurrant, wild black plum, morello cherry, wild strawberry, fresh raspberry and blueberry, with a slight herbaceous touch of blackcurrant leaf and peppermint. We also find notes of black pepper, licorice, clove and nutmeg, with a fine hint of vanilla in the background. The finish is quite persistent, with a lively and salivating acidity. The tannins are a bit grainy, balanced by the juiciness and fruitiness of the wine.
