Riecine ‘Vigna Gittori’ Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2019 Review
The Gran Selezione category is new to Chianti as of 2010. With increased aging requirements, these wines are the most powerful in the region, and this bottle really shows that off. The nose offers savory notes of herbs, minerals, and earth with some juicy cherry fruit. The palate is tart and refreshing with shy tannins that frame the wine beautifully.
