Pico Maccario, Tre Roveri 2021 – Nizza

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The first nose expresses pronounced notes of pine sap and pine needles, which then combine with notes of menthol (or even eucalyptus), a floral bouquet (fresh peony, lilac, cornflower), a refined spiciness (clove, ground nutmeg, licorice) and a herbaceous hint of infused black tea. The fruits on the nose are ripe, juicy, slightly tangy. We find in particular notes of wild strawberry, fresh raspberry, morello cherry, black plum and blackcurrant, even a slight touch of bergamot in the background, which returns in the mid-palate. The flavors are silky, enveloping, with a nice concentration on the palate and a refreshing acidity. We find notes of juicy morello cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, red cherry, redcurrant jelly, blackcurrant, associated with notes of pine sap, licorice, clove and fresh flowers (peony, lilac). The tannins are well structured, quite firm, but with a fine texture. The finish is gourmand, tangy and quite persistent.
