La Maranzana, La Sessanta 2019 – Nizza

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity with very light garnet reflections. The nose offers distinct, but integrated, spicy and oaky notes, as well as very subtle developing aromas. We find in particular notes of fresh tobacco, forest floor (a very slightly perceptible touch), dried mint, dried rose, iris and lilac, as well as a juicy and ripe fruitiness: the aromas of strawberry crunchy, raspberry, fresh blackcurrant, crème de cassis, morello cherry, as well as a delicate lactic touch of cherry yogurt, sweet spices (vanilla, cinnamon, licorice, cloves) and caramelised hazelnut. On the palate, the wine offers smoothness, gourmandise and roundness, as well as liveliness, thanks to a salivating acidity. It expresses the flavors of morello cherry, crunchy strawberry, raspberry, fresh blackcurrant, licorice, vanilla (in the background), crushed mint and a fine floral bouquet (rose, violet, lilac). Nice balance: gourmandise, lovely freshness on the palate and a savory finish. The tannins are fine and delicate.
