I love wines that have lots of flavor! Raspberry, oak, plum, and a touch of pepper on the finish. Very layered but not very heavy. Easy drinking but holds up well to food. Just a hint sweet which lets it do better with some BBQ in my opinion. — 4 years ago

Pale ruby in color; cherries, raspberries, and baking spices on the nose; high acidity; medium tannins; tastes like tart cherries, dried herbs and crushed gravel with a long finish. Nellie liked it with food. I love it. — 19 days ago

Delicious wine not heavy or strong like some Montepulciano, this is a light flavorful wine with hints of raspberry. Had this with chicken casserole with fresh thyme and sage in a red wine stock. — 4 months ago
After another great webinar hosted by @Antonio Galloni today with legends of Chianti Classico, obviously I had to reach for a bottle. This is a Gran Selezione from Bacci-owned Castello di Bossi in the southern half of the DOCG.
Bright ruby red, unfiltered (as witnessed by a hypnotic haziness in the glass). Nose delivers underripe aromas of greenery, sour cherry, oak, and leaves. On the palate, it's just over medium weight, medium plus alcohol fairly well disguised, dry with medium acidity yet bitter. The tannins are firm and lack finesse. Medium finish length.
The are much better examples of Gran Selezione, even in this price range. But, it's hard to not keep drinking this with gratitude.

Superb with our Margarita Pizza. Big Cherry aromas with the slightest tawny tinge as I poured. Bold flavors with a long finish. Two bottles left! — 3 days ago
