Castello di Ama La Casuccia Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2020

Usually a wine of sensuality, the 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto La Casuccia is a powerhouse. That is probably a good thing for its long-term aging prospects, but readers will have to patient. Intense savory and mineral notes infuse the 2020 with tons of complexity. Even in this warm year, the 2020 Gaiole in Chianti (Chianti Classico, Siena) is not opulent, but it is packed with tremendous intensity and pure power. Redtoned Sangiovese fruit emerges over time, but the 2020 is going to require a measure of patience. Drinking window: 2026-2040. Score – 97+. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Aug. 29, 2023)
