$24, 3 stars, 88 points, chianti classico, Italy, sangiovese
Medium ruby colored with medium viscosity (14% ABV). The nose has medium (-) intensity aromas of sour cherry, pomegranate, roses and perfumed lilac. The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity and medium (+) tannins. A medium body gives me red fruit that is tart in nature along with some pretty florals and a hint of oak. This is not a very complex Sangiovese which surprises me considering that fact that it is Gran Selezione. I purchased it after drinking the delightful 2016 Panzano. This vintage is of lesser intensity and lacks power, garnering 88 points from me. At $24 it rates 3 stars in my books. Drink till 2030. Salut….
