Top Notes For
Ceccherini Cristiano

Simple nose, with fruit and flowers, all from red to darker
Vibrant mouthful with a little fizz, nice freshness, spicy as well as being fruity and floral and very persistent
Hard to stop drinking
12%
Aftertaste of licorice, cola and balsamic
I'd say few months in the bottle will help

I understand the appeal, but it's not my type of wine. Certainly fresh (ticking the Nouveau box) and textural, but not really much finesse structurally. Some people love this, but this is half-finished wine to me.

Spicy, gamey, black pepper on cured meats kind of notes. Bright and textural, fresh and alive. One I'd be keen to revisit. Cheers to Dan for showing it to us.

Pretty good easy drinking wine. Very peppery, zesty.

Very interesting, a bit of spice, 13.5% alcohol but feels like 10%. Very young
