Malgrà, Gaiana 2019 – Nizza

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is savoury, spicy, and offers complexity and depth. It expresses notes of leather, sweet spices (grated nutmeg, ground clove, licorice), as well as notes of dried herbs (basil, oregano, mint), roasted bouquet garni (thyme, rosemary, bay leaf), as well as dried flowers (dried rose, dried cornflower), violet and forest floor in the background. The fruity notes are ripe and fresh (wild strawberry, raspberry coulis, morello cherry, blackberry), complemented by touches of dried fruit (dried red cherry) and bitter cocoa. The palate is savoury, gourmand and juicy. It expresses notes of roasted red fruits (roasted cherry, roasted raspberry), fresh fruits (black cherry, blackberry, wild strawberry), a sweet and savoury spiciness (vanilla, cinnamon, cloves), chocolate with mint and flowers (violet, dried rose, iris). The tertiary notes of leather and undergrowth are very delicate, less present than on the nose, and appear at the end of the palate. Good length, lots of flavors, juiciness, fresh acidity and a refined tannic structure. A fleshy and complex wine, but harmonious and elegant.
