Giorgio Rivetti La Spinetta Il Nero di Casanova Sangiovese 2020 (75cl, 13.5%)

Il Nero di Casanova is an unfiltered Tuscan red wine blending 95% Sangiovese with 5% Colorino. It undergoes maceration and alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks for about 12 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in second-use French oak barrels. The wine then ages roughly 14 months in oak and a further 12 months in bottle before release. The nose opens with wild cherry, blackberry, blueberry and ripe cherry, with subtle spice, dried orange peel, earthy undertones and a floral lift of violet. The palate is fresh and fruit-forward with red plum and crunchy red berry, building to savory notes of black tea, clove and licorice, with velvety tannins and striking acidity. The finish is lingering and savory, with sour cherry and earthy tones.
