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

Castello di Brolio Gran Selezione 2016. 90% Sangiovese and 10% d’abrusco. Dark ruby coloration with some translucency. Cherry and florals/perfume and vanilla, spice and some smokiness. On the palate, cherry, oak, vanilla, florals, medium finish of same, with some chocolate notes. Tannins are strong but the wine is nicely balanced, rich and soft on the palate.
