Rating: 3.0/5
The Foravia Morra Gabrielle 2022, a Langhe red wine, presents a pale garnet colour with clear clarity. The nose is dominated by pronounced aromas of raspberry and black pepper, supported by subtle notes of cranberry and white pepper. On the palate, the wine feels grippy with high tannin, showcasing medium plus body and acidity, complemented by a dry sweetness and a medium alcohol level. Flavours of red currant and cranberry are primary, while cedar notes emerge as secondary, adding to the complexity.
