Rocca di Castagnoli Stielle Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2017

The 2017 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Stielle takes all the signatures of the estate and turns up the volume, resulting in an ample, dramatic wine that hits all the right notes. Black cherry, mocha, lavender, spice and leather build into the intense, palate-staining finish. The 2017 is such a gorgeous and vivid Gran Selezione. Don’t miss it. Drinking window: 2025-2042. Score – 95. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Sept. 21, 2021)
