Terre di Melazzano 2020 – Chianti Classico

(organic) The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity with slight garnet reflections. The nose is gourmand, fruity and slightly jammy. It offers delicacy and a certain complexity. We find notes of roasted bigarreau cherry, fresh morello cherry, crushed wild strawberry, raspberry coulis, as well as a fine spicy (liquorice, clove, white pepper), floral (peony, violet) and torrefaction (mild coffee, toasted hazelnut), as well as a touch of tapenade and basil in the background. The palate is silky, juicy and fruity, with light notes of roasted red fruits (roasted cherry, roasted raspberry). We also find notes of fresh wild strawberry, juicy morello cherry, blackberry, raspberry coulis, peony, fresh rose, liquorice, white pepper, cloves and coffee, with a hint of cocoa in the background. The tannins are fine, melted and supple, slightly grippy but integrated. The finish is lingering and sapid, with pleasant bitter notes of bergamot, dried herbs and coffee and refreshing acidity. Delicacy and a beautiful fruitiness.
