2016 Podere Il Palazzino Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Grosso Sanese

Producer: Podere Il Palazzino  Region: Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy  Varietal: Sangiovese  Year: 2016   Wine Spectator, 95 Points  "The 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Grosso Sanese is a powerful, brooding wine. A rush of sweet red cherry and floral notes appears first as the Grosso Sanese shows off its personality. The style is super-classic, with the intensity of the year peaking through just a touch of volatile acidity that is at the limit, but adds character here. Blood orange, sage, mint and pomegranate appear later, adding to a real feeling of exoticism. The 2015 is undeniably quirky, but also a wine that you want to taste over and over."  Alcohol: 15%  *Price and availability in store may vary. Vintage date may differ from pictured.
