CC Gran Selezione. Needs a full day’s aeration to move from high-toned to full-on freight train of raspberry, sage, summer savory and saddle shop. Tremendous grip and length; superfine tannins. Superior. #poggioalsole #casasilia #chianticlassico #granselezione

“In the glass, the wine has a dark oxblood red color, nearly opaque at the center, with flashes of bright crimson at the edge. The nose unfurls with aromas of black currants, amarena cherries, incense, and rosemary moving in and out of the foreground, sometimes alternating with fresh white tobacco, dark chocolate, coffee, and eucalyptus as the nose evolves in the glass.
On the palate, the wine is spectacular: juicy and opulent, with a dense sweet core of brambly black fruit seasoned with crushed peppercorns, eucalyptus, and mint, all perfectly framed in sleek, graceful, micro fine-grained tannins.” — Moore Brothers Wine Co., where we bought this excellent Chianti in May 2020
