La Giribaldina – Cala Delle Mandrie 2018 – Nizza

The nose is elegant and offers a certain crunchiness and freshness as well as a floral touch. There are notes of boysenberry, mulberry leaf and, to a lesser extent, wild berries, combined with hints of morello cherry, fresh tobacco and nutmeg. The palate is nicely mineral, racy and offers freshness, juiciness, acidity, good definition and energy. On the palate this wine expresses juicy/fresh cherry, bright red berry and slightly blueberry notes combined with hints of star anise, cardamom, crushed wild berries as well as fine nutmeg and a very discreet hint of place sense. The tannins are supple and smooth. Good length. Nice acidity on the finish/persistency. Good persistence. Subtle chewiness on the finish/persistence.
