Tenuta Casenuove 2019 – Chianti Classico

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is fragrant and expresses a fine spiciness (ground nutmeg, cloves, a touch of licorice stick and vanilla in the background), as well as slight tertiary notes (cigar box, a hint of undergrowth and wet leaves). We also find notes of ripe and candied fruits (fresh morello cherry, candied red cherry, red currant jelly, fresh blackcurrant, wild strawberry), as well as a fine floral bouquet (fresh rose, peony, a hint of violet), as well as a touch of rosemary and tobacco in the background. The attack on the palate is supple, savouryand enveloping. It expresses the flavors of candied blackcurrant, fresh morello cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry coulis, black plum (with a touch of prunes), which are then completed by notes of sweet spices (nutmeg, cumin). ground, clove, a touch of licorice), tobacco, undergrowth (a very discreet note in the background), dried aromatic herbs (dried rosemary, dried oregano, dried basil) and dried flowers (rose, peony). The tannins are well structured, slightly grippy, but balanced by a salivating acidity and a juicy fruitiness. Good balance and good structure overall.
