  Wow what a winner of wine this was that night. All of the players were present that night. Aromatically I get an iron core with a fresh red cherry fruit. In mouth the flavors don't let down as the wine moves on to leather fresh red fruit flavors, a fresh black cherry sweetness and a tannin backbone built to take this wine to the next level.

  Wow, how pleasant this Gran Selezione from Castello Vicchiomaggio drinks already now! Red with a dark core in the glass. Super-expressive nose showcasing true Sangiovese character - dried red flowers & dried herbs, chocolate, smoke & iron and an abundance of deep ripe & sour cherries. Palate is heartening & incredibly intense throughout, roller-coaster tannic structure, bitter touch but so elegant in its young roughness. 13% ABV - fresh, great concentration while finishing grippy, bone-dry and sour. One to watch!
