Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and elegant aromas
which start with nuances of black cherry, blueberry and vanilla followed
by pleasing aromas of plum, black currant, violet and licorice as well as
good hints of cocoa and tobacco. In the mouth has good correspondence to
the nose, a slightly tannic attack however well balanced by alcohol, good
body and intense flavors. The finish is persistent with good flavors of
plum, black cherry and blueberry. A well made wine. Lucciaio ages for 12
months in barrique followed by 12 months of aging in bottle.
