A solid Chianti Classico to go with a mess of broccoli rabe and homemade salchicia with pasta. Comfort! Not the most complex, but loads of dark, sour cherry fruit, a balsamic note, and a bit of crushed gravel. Good intensity and balance in the mouth. Not the lengthiest but satisfying!

UPDATED: After two nights under a vacuum closure, it’s much deeper and more complete. Upping initial 8.9 score to 9.1, on the condition that, if drunk before 2027, it needs to be opened for a while before it struts its stuff. — 9 days ago

Enjoyed the 2015 after 5 years to celebrate a baby! deep and dark cherry notes. Sipping alone then with food worked. — a month ago

Pale garnet in color, this wine presents pronounced aromas of macerated cherries, with subtle hints of menthol and dry earth. I did not notice any floral notes.

On the palate, the wine confirms the nose, displaying medium-plus tannins and medium acidity, with a medium finish.

I believe this wine could benefit from a couple more years of aging in the cellar, although I really enjoyed it. I look forward to trying it again in 2027 or 2028. — 3 months ago

2015: Rich, generous CC Gran Selezione drinking very well now. I wouldn’t mistake it for the top Brunellos but good fruit and quality viscosity set it apart from the better Riservas. Touches of tar and leather give it a good dose of complexity. $45? At WL. — 2 years ago
