opulent and wonderfully persistent finish

the larger-scaled flavors possess more size and weight if not the same refinement or minerality as the Latricières where the supporting tannins coat the palate on the grippy

50% Pinot Noir and 10% red wine from the Valofroy vineyard in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ

with redcurrant and delicate coffee flavors showing good sweetness and plenty of early appeal

Isole e Olena, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vintage:2013 opulent and wonderfully persistent finishThe 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is breathtaking. Beautifully ripe, deep and expressive, the 2013 has it all, deep fruit, stunning aromatic presence and tremendous structure. Black cherry, pomegranate, rose petal, mint and lavender all meld together in this super expressive, resonant Chianti Classico. An absolutely killer wine, the Gran Selezione is a fabulous, contemporary expression of Chianti Classico at its very finest. Drops of Cabernet
