Score: ✧✧✧ |
This wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean and pleasing aromas
that start with hints of cherry, raspberry and plum followed by aromas of
strawberry, cyclamen, tobacco and vanilla. The mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and pleasing
crispness, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The
finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, raspberry and plum. Terre di
Franciacorta Rosso ages for about 12 months in cask. |
