Aligote “La Belle Promenade”

From GIOVANNA MADONIA Bright ruby red color. Flowery aromas of violet, morello cherries and red pulp fruit with hints of aromatic herbs and slightly spicy notes. High-acid mineral finish. Sangiovese 95%, Merlot 5%.

From CA' DEL BAIO Colour ruby red with purplish highlights; nose intense and vinous, with delicate fruity overtones reminiscent of cherries, wild strawberries and blackberries; taste dry, with good balance and acidity, and a nicely almondy finish.

From FLâNEUR Aromas and flavors are pronounced with abundant cherry, ripe strawberry, raspberry and earthy nuances of Oregon forest floor. Fresh and young but balanced, this Pinot has elegance with enough complexity built by fine tannins and age-worthy acidity.

From TIME PLACE 17 months in 66% new French oak aging. This Deep Purple wine is full of aromas of dark, black plum and cassis. A luxurious palate of blackberry and cigar box with hints of ripe plum leads to a long finish with chewy but supple tannins.

From GIANFRANCO ALESSANDRIA On the palate one finds blackberry, cherry, smoke, and earth. Soft tannins are provided by 12 months in neutral oak.

From MURI-GRIES Intense ruby red color. Aromas of ripe cherry and plum, with some spicy walnut notes. Soft and warm tannins. Delicate minerality with a smooth finish. Pair with steak, grilled fish, roast duck, and mature cheeses. 92 pts Robert Parker
