Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
This wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little
transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing, elegant and
refined aromas that start with nuances of plum, blueberry and black cherry
followed by intense aromas of raspberry, violet and licorice as well as
pleasing hints of cinnamon, black pepper and eucalyptus. In the mouth has
good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack however well
balanced by alcohol, full body and intense flavors. The finish is
persistent with intense flavors of plum, black cherry and blueberry. A
well made wine. Piovano ages for 12 months in steel tanks and in bottle. |
