Castello di Querceto La Corte Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2020

Made with 100% Sangiovese, this is usually the more slender and streamlined of Castello di Querceto’s two top-end expressions. The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione La Corte is even more peppery in character in this vintage, with white instead of black pepper, followed by forest fruit, blackcurrant and crushed stone. Otherwise, you get plenty of territorial character in this mid-weight wine … Drink date: 2023-2033. Score – 94. (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Sept. 21, 2023)
