Pensieri di Cavatina 2019 – Chianti Classico Riserva

The wine has a brilliant ruby color, of medium intensity and with light garnet reflections. The nose expresses delicacy, gourmandise, depth of aromas and a subtle sweetness, brought by notes of candied fruit. It expresses the aromas of candied red cherry, morello cherry in chocolate, ripe black plum, fresh morello cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry coulis, wild blackberry and crushed cassis (with a touch of crème de cassis). After aeration, it reveals a savoury spiciness (a subtle touch of vanilla, fresh liquorice, nutmeg, clove), resinous nuances (pine sap, pine needles), an elegant floral bouquet (violet, wild rose, lily), a herbaceous hint (wild mint, dried basil, dried rosemary, thyme, bay leaf), as well as a fine mineral texture in the background (dry gravel, limestone). The palate is frank, straight and juicy. The tannins are powerful, but fine and sapid, with a touch of good bitterness and a powdery note of cocoa. We find the flavors of juicy morello cherry, candied red cherry, chocolate red cherry, crushed cassis, blackberry, black plum and wild strawberry, combined with refreshing herbaceous and resinous notes (pine sap, pine needles, basil, peppermint, thyme, rosemary), a floral touch (wild rose, violet) and spicy notes(roasted vanilla, nutmeg, fresh licorice). The finish is quite persistent, with good citrus bitterness (grapefruit, bergamot), with firm tannins and a salivating acidity, which helps to balance the wine. A structured wine with a beautiful juicy fruitiness.
