Terra di Seta 2019 – Chianti Classico Riserva

(organic) The wine has a deep ruby color. On the nose, it is reserved and requires aeration. It expresses notes of wild strawberry, crushed raspberry, blueberry, fresh blackcurrant and cranberries, associated with a fine spiciness (liquorice, white pepper, cloves, nutmeg), herbaceous (peppermint, dried basil) and floral (violet). We also find delicate notes of black tapenade and fresh hazelnut in the background. The palate is fragrant, chiselled and tannic. The tannins are dry on the attack, even a bit astringent. We find the aromas of fresh morello cherry, blackcurrant, crushed raspberry, wild strawberry, red cherry jam, the tannic hint of mountain ash and wild plum, as well as spicy (liquorice, nutmeg), floral notes (violet), a hint of balsamic, black tapenade and aromatic herbs (dried basil, dried mint). The finish is quite persistent, with good bitterness and a delicate smoky touch of bergamot. The acidity is lively and salivating.
