Pianetta di Cagnore 2002

Antico Terreno Ottavi (Italy)

Vernaccia Nera
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✭

This wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas that start with hints of black cherry, plum and raspberry followed by aromas of blueberry, violet, vanilla and cinnamon. 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 raspberry and blueberry. This wine ages for 16-18 months in barrique.
