Tasting notes

Deep red colour. Fruity Lessona on the nose with quite "ripe" fruit for this area. Strawberry-compote, some fine notes of anise, tar and fine floral high-notes. Very pretty nose. Powerful and again controversially fruity style in the mouth. This is a big Lessona with lots of fruit and also a little fatness. yBut behind that ripe fruitiness there is a lot of fine notes. Anis, tar, florality, minerality. Great depth. Medium acidity and a long and dry tannic end. Perhaps a more Langhe-like Lessona which will benefit with more aging. Great potensial and a very tempting wine that impresses with it's deepness despite the quite obvious fruit.
