The first Gran Selezione vintage—although the year predates the rollout of the higher quality designation, this was the first bottling to have documentation proving it met the criteria. It’s also well documented how DELICIOUS the wine is, showing red cherry, savory herbs, and some rusty/earthy tones. From magnum. Wow.
