Il Contadino Cusano, Tenuta Poggio Torselli 2020 – Chianti Classico Riserva

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is expressive and offers aromas of gourmand and savoury sweet spices. We find notes of grated nutmeg, cloves, ground cumin, fresh liquorice stick, associated with fruity notes of morello cherry, bigarreau cherry, fresh blackcurrant, blueberry, black plum, cherry with chocolate and raspberry coulis, as well as herbaceous touches (dried mint, fresh thyme, fresh oregano), balsamic, black tapenade, fresh flowers (rose, violet, peony) and torrefaction (coffee, toasted hazelnut, cocoa). The palate is gourmand, juicy and fruity. It expresses the flavors of fresh fruit with a touch of roasted and macerated fruit (fresh morello cherry, macerated cherry, cherry in chocolate, crushed blackcurrant, crème de cassis, raspberry coulis), notes of sweet spices (roasted vanilla, seeds of crushed coriander, nutmeg, cloves), aromatic herbs (fresh thyme, dried mint, roasted bouquet garni), flowers (dried rose, violet), a touch of torrefaction (coffee, toasted hazelnut) and tobacco. The tannins are firm, well structured, fine and not drying. The finish is long, sapid, with a hint of cocoa and a nice freshness, thanks to a salivating acidity.
