Rating: 4.5/5
The Nero Ossidiania presents as a deeply coloured, clear red wine, its purple hue evoking richness. With a pronounced nose, aromas of blackcurrant and black cherry mingle with subtle notes of toast and bread. On the palate, the grippy texture of moderate plus body and high tannins is balanced by high acidity, leading to a dry sensation. Flavours of blackberry, black cherry, and preserved fruits unfold, with creamy notes and hints of chocolate and caramel.
