San Felice Poggio Rosso Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2018

The San Felice 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Poggio Rosso is distinguished by its precision and its elegance. There is a sharp mineral tone that frames the entire bouquet, and that recalls red stone or rusty nail. At the wine’s core is blackberry, ripe cherry, sweet tobacco and toasted spice. The balance between the primary fruit and those aged tones derived from the oak is spot-on. Precision farming and careful fruit selection are the secrets of this success. Drink date: 2024-2030. Score – 94. (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Feb. 9, 2023)
