So soft. The tannins are fine grained and quite supple. Aromas of black fruit, paprika and dark chocolate. #chianti #chianticlassico #granselezione

What I’ve found out regrettably about Gran Selezione Chianti is that it’s bigger, rounded , heavier and ultimately less Chianti like and more full body red wine like. Ironic if you taste it and sad if you care about the place and characters made in a place that you care about .
Good with any mutt or maybe a cat

Full bodied, very ripe cherries and strawberries. Well incorporated oak, finish of vanilla, dark chocolate and warm spices.

Oak, sweet spicy aroma. Deep raisin and red black fruits. Coffee, chocolate nuance. Tanning, spicy. Drinkable from first shot. Found it good Chianti immediately! 2016 @2100, xiaduo -, 220430-220518

Ruby coloration with translucency. On the nose, cherry, cassis, smoke and barbecue. On the palate, cherry, strawberry, tea, balsamic, leather, vanilla, higher acidity, medium long finish culminating with strawberry.
