Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little
transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas
which start with hints of black cherry, plum and blackberry followed by
aromas of violet, vanilla, carob, licorice, tobacco, mace, pink pepper and
menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and
however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, agreeable. The
finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum and blackberry. A
well made wine. Terre di Ginestra 651 ages for 8 months in barrique
followed by 3 months of aging in bottle.
