Tenuta di Nozzole 2019 – Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

The wine has a medium-intensity ruby color. The nose is deep, with beautiful juiciness and freshness, complemented by a touch of spice and gourmand chocolate. It expresses notes of chocolate morello cherry, roasted red cherry in the background, ripe morello cherry, crushed blueberry, blackcurrant, raspberry coulis and wild strawberry, as well as liquorice, crushed cardamom, tonka bean, grated nutmeg and vanilla in the background. There is also a fine toasted hint (toasted hazelnut, cocoa, coffee), as well as a sweet hint of wild mint and peony. The palate is refined, fresh and juicy. The attack offers a good bitterness of dark chocolate and cocoa, combined with a gourmet and fresh fruity material (red cherry, morello cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, blackberry), combined with notes of chocolate morello cherry, a sweet hint of wild mint, peony and iris, as well as a savoury spicy and toasted hint, which adds depth (toasted hazelnut, smoke, toasted wood, coffee, coffee chocolate, liquorice, roasted vanilla, cardamom, tonka bean). The finish is precise, long and cocoa-like. The tannins are powdery and fine, but structured, beautiful salivating acidity. A refined and powerful wine.
