Podere Il Palazzino Grosso Sanese Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2015

The 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Grosso Sanese is a powerful, brooding wine. A rush of sweet red cherry and floral notes appears first as the Grosso Sanese shows off its personality. The style is super-classic, with the intensity of the year peaking through just a touch of volatile acidity that is at the limit, but adds character here. Blood orange, sage, mint and pomegranate appear later, adding to a real feeling of exoticism. The 2015 is undeniably quirky, but also a wine that you want to taste over and over. Drinking window: 2022-2035. Score – 95. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Sept. 2020)
