COS Cerasuolo di Vittoria delle Bastonaca 2020 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

From the organically farmed Bastonaca vineyard where the soils are more clay dominant, comes this rich, structured style of Cerasuolo that really packs a punch. Bright red fruit dominate the palate with lingering floral and tobacco notes. Balanced with acidity and integrated tannins, this medium-bodied red is sure to leave a lasting impression. The 2020 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Della Bastonaca is impossible to ignore, offering an exotic bouquet that blends incense and nectarine with a hint of clove. It sweeps across the palate, minerally intense as a saturation of tart red and black fruit adds cheek-puckering tension. Edgy tannins resonate while the 2020 finishes long and pleasantly chewy. Spicy and smoky, with black pepper, graphite, coffee grounds, leather and dark wild fruit. Medium- to full-bodied, showing firm, chalky tannins with crisp acidity, a tight palate and an austere finish. From organically grown grapes.
