2020 Giàsaggio

A vanguard of fresh strawberry and sweet licorice aromas are supported by the vaguely familiar scents of lilac and sarsaparilla, evolving to evasive notes of five-spice. Dark flavorful wild blueberries juxtapose strawberry-rhubarb pie. Adding to this soft juicy flavor experience is earthy-sweet licorice root and a nuance of peppercorn that almost implies a picante tone. Starting with the silky entry, a generally supple mid-palate extends all the way to a finish that is best described as suggestively sinewy, no doubt a rumor of the Nebbiolo hiding in the shadows.
