Chianti Gran Selezione

San Fabiano Calcinaia

Cellole Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2010

x

Dark ruby in
color with a wide reddish rim.

Beautiful nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blueberries, black currants, cooked cherries, light oak, spices, dark chocolates, light earth, espresso, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Sangiovese from Tuscany. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and engaging, soft and elegant.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes in the bottle.

This 16 year old Chianti Gran Selezione is drinking at its peak now, and will continue to do so in the next few years.

Wine Enthusiasts 95 points. Wine Spectator 92 points.

A gorgeous sipping wine that also paired nicely with my Elk Bolognese with Pappardelle pasta.

A blend of 90% Sangiovese with 10% Merlot and Colorino.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

Riserva Ducale Oro Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2021

A little too fresh to compete with an aged brunello but a good wine. Would probably just have a Chianti riserva for better value. — 10 days ago

Vigneto Bellavista Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Sangiovese Blend 2020

Slightly less bright appearance , medium ruby core , wider ruby rim . Slightly more herbal in character , darker fruits perhaps . Cassis , dried herbs , grafite , cedar, seaside hints. Slightly more austere too . On the palate this has a little more dark fruit than expected , with darker cherry , cassis, dried herbs and a slight medicinal , black tea, anis tinge . Slightly more edgy , grippy tannins and good acidity, not perhaps as fresh as the 2021 . Pretty good depth and intensity too . Good mineral , grafite tinged finish . Slightly more advanced in comparison to the 2021 . This also needs time , quite austere in character with more grippy tannins . Will continue to improve over the 5 years and last well a further 10. — 4 months ago

Panzano Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2019

This co-op’s village-specific gran seleziones are seemingly always great values and nice weeknight dinner choices. Very classic nose of macerated cherry, and mineral-flecked gravel. Medium-bodied, soft and balanced in the mouth. Flavors tending toward the savory and mineral rather than fruity. Lengthy finish. — 8 months ago

Colledilà Castello di Brolio Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Sangiovese 2019

Went over to L&J's house and he just happened to have almost the same chianti as we had last night. But this vintage was fruitier and brighter than the 21. Or at least, fruitier and brighter than what was left of the 21 from last night. — 2 years ago
