Description:
Vivid ruby red more concentrated at heart. A warm perfume gives an enveloping idea of radiance, embracing the typical scents of this Riserva: fresh references to mirabelle and blood orange, hints of rosehip and bramble berries, sage and thyme and delicate spices (white pepper). Cortevecchia Riserva is an expression of the most classic Sangiovese of the San Casciano Val di Pesa area. Elegance and clarity of approach are the characteristics of the taste as well: the wine has a precise balance between softness, freshness and tannic perceptions. There’s good rhythm until the epilogue and a fine and elegant, yet long, saline and slightly spiced persistence that leaves a sense of joyful vitality. Bonus: proportion
