Still red Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG, 14.5% ABV, produced by Castello di Monsanto. Blend: 95% Sangiovese, Canaiolo Nero, Colorino. 2020 vintage, 0.75L bottle. A Chianti Classico Gran Selezione that represents the excellence of Tuscany, produced with select grapes and meticulous vinification. In temperature-controlled, truncated-cone steel vats with a delestage system and pumping over for approximately 20-22 days. Aged in 500-liter French oak barrels, some new and some used, for 18-20 months. The nose is enticing with notes of hibiscus and red currant, smoke, a subtle hint of sweet spices, thyme, bay leaf, rose hips, and violets. It leans toward garnet with a nuanced finish. On the palate, it has vibrant tannins, fresh acidity, and a long finish with a pleasant sensation of bitter almond.
