Poggio Mandorlo – La Querce 2012 – Montecucco Sangiovese DOCG

The nose is elegant, aromatic, racy and offers a good finesse of the grain. It reveals notes of ripe blackberry and small notes of ripe strawberry associated with touches of ceps, underwood as well as very discreet hints of olive tree (in the background) and an imperceptible hint of meat. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, tension, a mineral frame/minerality, a very fine density as well as freshness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe cassis, ripe raspberry and small notes of ripe small red berries associated with small touches of underwood, ceps as well as very discreet hints of toasted almond (in the background) and a hint of meat. Good length. There is an imperceptible almost saline on the finish/persistence.
