Villa Giada, Dedicato… 2019 – Nizza Riserva

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is delicately spicy, fruity and refined. It expresses notes of ground cumin, white pepper, licorice, clove, associated with notes of dried mint, damp leaves and undergrowth (very slightly perceptible), flowers (dried rose, peony, lilac), enveloped in fresh and ripe fruit (griotte, roasted red cherry, crushed raspberry, redcurrant jelly, wild strawberry, crushed blackcurrant). We also see a fine minerality (wet stone) after aeration. The palate offers concentration, juiciness, depth while remaining fresh. It expresses notes of dried red cherry, morello cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry coulis, redcurrant jelly, a hint of blueberry jam, a touch of prunes in chocolate, combined with notes of dried mint, licorice, clove, cumin, coffee, cocoa, peony, dried rose, tobacco and undergrowth in the background. The tannins are structured, a bit grainy, but balanced by juiciness on the finish, round flavors of cherry in chocolate and a nice acidity. Power and gourmandise.
