Score: ✧✧✧✧❂ |
The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas
that start with hints of cherry, raspberry and plum followed by aromas of
carob, blackberry, licorice, tobacco, violet, vanilla and hints of
star anise. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly
tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors,
good tannins. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, raspberry
and plum. A well made wine. Rivolta ages in cask for 6 months followed by
8 months of aging in bottle.
