Sergio Zingarelli Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2020

Very well balanced. A little fruity upfront dry on the back. Well structured wine, which will get only better with age. 2020 vintage — 23 days ago

Lamole Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2020

This cuvée, from a small Chianti Classico-based co-op, is always a fantastic value. The 2020 Lamole is no exception. I love wines from this subregion. This has a boisterous nose of slightly sour cherry, pungent wild herbs, and dried loamy gravel. Soft in the mouth, and darker-hued than the nose suggests. The acids are quite soft (it’s a ‘20, so . . . ) and there’s plenty of ripe, soft tannin providing tactile interest. Ideally I’d like a bit more depth and length, but since I got it for under $20 there’s no way I’m complaining. — a month ago

@Tom Casagrande, I’ve always been drawn to Co-Op wines (Caves du Turckheim is a great example), so I was particularly drawn to your reference of this being a Co-Op wine!! Cheers!
