This is easy-drinking Chianti. Open nose of cigar box, smoky gravel, plums and ripe cherry. Broad and soft, it lacks the acid spine and freshness I look for. Maybe that's to be expected for the new category of Gran Selezione, which requires a higher alcohol content, which usually comes at the expense of acidity.

Typical cherry of chianti; but felt it didn't offer much more. Tasted "old" on the finish.
