Cellole Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend
Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
x
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Beautiful nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing blueberries, black currants, cooked cherries, light oak, spices, dark chocolates, light earth, espresso, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Sangiovese from Tuscany. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and engaging, soft and elegant.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes in the bottle.
This 16 year old Chianti Gran Selezione is drinking at its peak now, and will continue to do so in the next few years.
Wine Enthusiasts 95 points. Wine Spectator 92 points.
A gorgeous sipping wine that also paired nicely with my Elk Bolognese with Pappardelle pasta.
A blend of 90% Sangiovese with 10% Merlot and Colorino.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$30.

Tastes wonderful after getting a little fat and spice on your tongue. Opens up beautifully with pasta with spicy meat sauce (as an example)

Dark, rich, ruby red hue. Aromas of candied cherry, strawberry & licorice with savoury notes of black olive and dried sage. Powerful & structured with black currant notes. High but well-integrated tannins with medium acidity. Overall, very well-balanced.

The Cellole has a nice nose of cherry and leather, maybe a touch of herbs. On the palate the wine is still young and tight (wish I'd opened it 3 hours ago) but with fruit and pepper and a surprisingly long finish. What a delight!
