Friday, November 19, 2021 - 86/100 #myopinionaboutwine

Grapes: the main variety is Sangiovese, as well as other varieties - malvasia nera, colorino, merlot, cabernet sauvignon.

I recently managed to find a bottle of Nipozzano 2012. And this is an interesting experience as the wine is already aged, even though it is Resirva.

Color: deep dark ruby ​​color with brown rim.
Aroma: red currants, fermented cherries, leather, smoky and strawberry tones, as well as a special sangiovese aroma - tomato leaves and the tomatoes themselves.
Taste: wine with a very strong structure - high acidity and coarse tannins, the balance is slightly skewed towards acidity. Medium body (expected more dense), medium intensity taste, and berry aftertaste (cranberries and lingonberries)

Wine should be drunk only with food with a high fat content, then the acidity becomes pleasant and the tannins are more rounded.

Unambiguously, the wine is mature in all qualities (color, aroma, taste). For those who want to understand how wine changes with age - I recommend this sample.
