Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
This wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and
elegant aromas which start with hints of black cherry, black currant and
plum followed by aromas of blueberry, tobacco, licorice, vanilla, violet,
chocolate, eucalyptus and mace. The mouth has good correspondence to the
nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense
flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum and
black currant. A well made wine. Il Sole di Alessandro ages for 20-24
months in barrique followed by at least 6 months of aging in bottle.
