Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
Valtellina Sfursat Fruttaio Ca' Rizzieri shows a brilliant ruby red color
and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense,
clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of
cherry, plum and violet followed by aromas of raspberry, strawberry, rose,
vanilla, tobacco, cinnamon, chocolate, leather, mace and menthol. The mouth
has excellent correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however
balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, pleasing roundness. The
finish is very persistent with long flavors of cherry, plum and raspberry.
A well made wine. Valtellina Sfursat Fruttaio Ca' Rizzieri ages for 15
months in barrique followed by more than 12 months of aging in bottle. |
