The Story

This exceptional single-vineyard Gran Selezione reveals an enticing bouquet of ripe red berries, vanilla, and flint. The palate is full-bodied and compact, displaying silky, fine-grained tannins, succulent red fruit, and integrated notes of leather, earth, and ground spices. The finish is long, harmonious, and beautifully structured.

Food Pairing: Pairs brilliantly with grilled lamb chops, coffee-rubbed beef brisket, roasted wild boar, sage-butter gnocchi, and aged Italian cheeses.

 

94 Points -

This is a full-bodied and compact red with ripe red berry character and hints of earthiness and ground spices. Firm, fine-grained tannins with a solid structure, succulent red fruit and a lingering finish. Drink or hold.

 

93 Points -

Leather, earth and woods aromas and flavors are the main themes in this red, with cherry and plum fruit playing supporting roles. Lively and harmonious, with a firm, chalky finish. Drink now through 2040. 1,080 cases made, 830 cases imported.

 

90 Points

A rich red with garnet color, the 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Bellezza is taking on some creamy aromas of yogurt with baked red plum tart, sweet baking spices, and vanilla. The palate offers more freshness and lift and is full-bodied, with ample velvety rich tannins, and it has good length, showing off notes of cedar on the finish. While I prefer the structure of this wine, I would still rather drink it over the near term. Drink 2024-2037.
