Castello de Meleto Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2019

Gran Selezione takes us into the lofty realms of the very best Chianti, which is even more exciting when one considers what a stellar vintage 2019 has proved to be. The colour is a deep blood red. A wine of maturity and complexity, we have aromas weaving through spices, tobacco leaves, leather and earth, red fruits and licorice. The wine has focus and length with good acidity throughout, through to very fine, almost chalky tannins. We see the emergence of notes of mushrooms and cherries towards the finish. Impressive stuff which will surely drink well for at least the next eight to ten years.
