Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
The visive evaluation shows a beautiful and intense ruby red color,
little transparency. At the nose reveals personality with clean and
intense fruity aromas. The aromas mainly perceived are of black cherry,
raspberry, blueberry, black currant and plum followed by aromas of
caramel, eucalyptus, licorice and vanilla. The attack in the mouth is
pretty tannic, anyway well balanced by alcohol. A wine having body and
good correspondence with the nose. Finish is persistent with pleasing
and clean flavors of plum and raspberry. This wine, which is surely
drinkable at its current state, will give its best with some more years
of aging. Folgòre is produced by macerating skins in the must for 23
days and then it is aged in barrique for 12 months
