Carpineto Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2015

Tuscany, ItalyThe Gran Selezion (the best wine of the year made at the estate) comes off a cool, 2-hectare site in Greve in Chianti. 2015 was a warm year yielding an atypical Chianti Classico with a dark colour and a rich, almost luscious structure. Look for Bing cherries over a licorice, forest floor undercurrent, and even after seven years, there is a hint of oak lingering in the finish. This New World vintage will be widely admired outside of Europe, and it clearly has time in the bottle ahead of it. Serve this with any rich dish containing mushrooms.Tasted: 12 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:
