Score: ✧✧✧✭ |
The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of ruby red,
moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and
elegant aromas which open up with aromas of fruits such as black cherry,
blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, black currant and plum followed by
pleasing hints of vanilla and carob. In the mouth has good correspondence
to the nose, a slightly tannic attack however well balanced by alcohol,
intense flavors and good body. The finish is persistent with good flavors
of black cherry, plum and blueberry . Rivarossa ages in barrique for about
14-15 months.
