Isole E Olena Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2016

Tasting Notes

The 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is stunning. That's hardly a surprise as Paolo De Marchi has a track record of making compelling Gran Seleziones in his own unique style. A brilliant, focused wine, the 2016 bristles with energy from start to finish. It is the rare wine that offers superb evolution in the glass as it opens over time. The blend is 90% Sangiovese plus dollops of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Syrah. Drinking window: 2024-2041. (Antonio Galloni,vinous.com,Sept. 21, 2021)
