Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
This wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas
that start with hints of black currant, black cherry and plum followed by
aromas of blueberry, violet, vanilla, licorice, tobacco, cinnamon and mace.
The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however
balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent
with flavors of black currant, plum and black cherry. A well made wine.
Avvoltore ages for about 12 months in barrique followed by 6 months of
aging in bottle.
