5/18/2024 - Al-Vino Likes this wine: 93 pointsTerrific Gran Selezione that hasn’t lost any of its energy and vibrancy. This is clearly a cellar worthy wine that will continue to reward those with patience. |

5/2/2024 - jtneev wrote: 90 pointsGood wine. Decanted half an hour. Gassy on the nose, light floral notes. Fruit: plum, a little cherry. Then medium tannins, chocolate, leather. Long finish. Not super complex. Not as good as other gran sellezionne I’ve had, but still a solid wine. |

2020 Vignamaggio Chianti Classico Trattoria 4 LeoniChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese more |
9/27/2023 - forceberry wrote: 88 pointsI'm not sure if this wine is a special bottling made exclusively for the trattoria 4 Leoni in Florence, or if this is just a re-labeled Vignamaggio Terre di Prenzano. If this is identical to Terre di Prenzano, this is made with 100% organically farmed Sangiovese grapes sourced from vineyards in Greve. Fermented in stainless steel tanks, macerated with the skins for 10 days. Aged for a year in botti casks ranging from 2000 to 4000 liters in size. 14% alcohol. |

4/7/2024 - Kitura Likes this wine: 90 pointsVery good. Blind - I would have pegged this as a Borolo - roses, cherries, dustiness and earth. Nice acidity and tannins. The age of the wine shows nicely. Enjoyed this quite a bit! |

3/31/2024 - kevin h wrote: 88 pointsSlow oxygenated for 6 wines. Healthy condition. Pale red, aged. Light red fruits nose, taste of rosehips. Faded but enjoyable, just a slight hint of VA. Caught it in time. |

This is pretty rich and ripe, complex for its age, and full of dark red and black fruit. Cherries but also plums, beginning secondary notes of chocolate and leather. Tannins and acids are smoother, so we'll see if it holds up but a solid GS at a reserva price. |

12/20/2023 - BHRH Likes this wine: 90 pointsDecanted 45 minutes. Lots of red fruits on the nose - raspberries, plums and a hint of currants. Silkier than expected on the palate with more red fruits and slightly ripe tannins. Fairly well balanced, rounded finished with nice complexity for the price. Exceeded expectations! |

11/26/2023 - Max S. Likes this wine: 91 pointsVanilla, red cherry, and raspberry to start, turned into red berries and acidic earth over 30 minutes open. Not a bad bottle, just too many alternatives that are better at the price point. |

11/10/2023 - junjay wrote: 90 pointsAgree with the others in the sense that this is a really nice wine that I'm not convinced is doing enough to warrant the Gran Selezione labelling. It's hard not to get caught up in the old controversy of the (previously new) denomination. Suffice to say that there are wines that more deserving of the category than this (but it shouldn't stop you drinking it if it's at a good price?). |

2015 Vignamaggio Merlot di Santa MariaToscana IGT more |
11/2/2023 - elevwine Likes this wine: 93 pointsFrom my favorite Seattle importer. More new world than old, a serious, rich and velvety Merlot (reminds me of wines you could find from some of the better Napa addresses before Sideways). Dark cherry fruit with a touch of mocha. Long finish. |

10/24/2023 - repoper wrote: 91 pointsI bought 6 a few years ago and tried one then. It was very disjointed so I put the rest on the back shelf until last night. POP. Beautiful nose of red berries, baking spices, orange peel and cough syrup. The bottle had been open a few hours before my first glass. This is in a great spot. Nice balance between tannins, acids & fruits. It kept improving over the course of dinner. Really fine weeknight wine. |

10/4/2023 - studleytrey Likes this wine: 91 pointsOops, opened too soon. Drinkable but firm tannins tonight. A nice punch and presence to it though; definitely see the riserva designation. Purplish ruby color. Smells like dark fruits, cherry, licorice, cedar, Kirsch, bit of a floral component. Medium body, medium (+) acid and finish, drying and grippy tannins, and flavors of dark fruits, some bright lemon and orange notes, some spice and minerals. Well made; I like it. Give the next one a couple more years. |
