Tenuta Valdipiatta (Italy)

Canaiolo Nero (60%), Merlot (40%)
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✭

Trincerone shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas that start with hints of black currant, black cherry and plum followed by aromas of violet, blueberry, licorice, vanilla, tobacco, chocolate, eucalyptus and mace. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable roundness. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, black currant and plum. A well made wine. Trincerone ages for 12 months in barrique followed by 12 months of aging in bottle.
