Ru, Mandola, Erede di Chiappone Armando 2015 – Nizza Riserva

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity with very light garnet reflections. The nose is fragrant and offers distinct but harmonious evolving notes in the wine profile. We find in particular the aromas of wet leaves, undergrowth, prunes, dried fig, associated with notes of fresh fruit (wild strawberry, morello cherry, crushed blackcurrant, crushed raspberry), aromatic herbs (bay leaf, thyme). and roasted rosemary, fresh wild mint), flowers (dried cornflower, fresh rose, lily), and sweet spices (vanilla, licorice, cinnamon, ground cumin, cloves) and a very delicate touch of mushrooms in the background. The palate is savoury, gourmand, but rather firm, with slightly dry tannins. It expresses notes of dried flowers (dried cherry, dried blackcurrant), associated with touches of fresh fruit (griotte, crushed wild strawberry, crushed raspberry), sweet spices (roasted vanilla, cinnamon, cumin, clove, licorice), dried flowers (cornflower rose), and a fine hint of dark chocolate and herbaceous (dried mint). Beautiful salivating acidity, which balances the dry tannins and a nice length on the juiciness, a fine spiciness a hint of undergrowth.
