What a beauty this is. Extraordinary length and beautiful structure. Seems so effortless and silky on your tongue but delivers stunning power. Seek this out.

The Gran Selezione designation has been hit or miss for me. This wine delivers and then some! Plenty of soft tannins, juicy acidity, red cherries, plums, a hint of tar and dried red flowers. Most delicious!

This is a very solid Chianti. Great mouth feel and weight. Mostly red cherry on entry it definitely a sense of the rocky soil at the property

aromas of sweet balsamic, tea leaf, dried rosemary, spiced plum pie, licorice and maybe a little anise. beautiful.....has a rich almost syrupy mouthfeel. dark wood and tea- red and black fruits play together...the overall balance on this is wonderful- this feels like a natural substance, a juice- not something concocted.
