Tenute Neirano 2021 – Nizza

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is fragrant, fruity and tangy. It expresses notes of tart red cherry, crunchy strawberry, fresh raspberry, a hint of fresh cranberries, as well as fine spicy (licorice, white pepper, grated nutmeg, a touch of cinnamon), floral (cornflower, iris, rose) and herbaceous touches (dried mint, dried thyme). There is also a very delicate note of toast, even caramelized almond in the background. The palate is juicy, ample and ripe, with an enveloped spiciness. It expresses slightly sweeter notes than on the nose: roasted red cherry, juicy morello cherry, crushed strawberry, raspberry, crushed blackcurrant, combined with notes of chocolate cherry, dried mint, peony, licorice, ground nutmeg and vanilla (in the background). The finish is persistent and gourmand, with notes of dried fruit (cherry, even dried fig), caramel (with a slight touch of caramelized hazelnuts) and chocolate. The tannins are fine and melted. Beautiful acidity, fruity roundness, balance and lots of gourmandize.
