The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Il Puro is laced with hints of tobacco, dried leaves, incense, spice and dark Sangiovese fruit. It’s a bit wild and unrestrained, but that is part of its appeal. Readers will find a potent, structured Gran Selezione that delivers the goods. - By Antonio Galloni on June 2024

Laced with cherry, strawberry, floral, Mediterranean scrub and mineral flavors, this rich red is also supple and firmly structured. Settling in with fine balance, with the flavors persisting on the lingering aftertaste, this is approachable now. Drink now through 2038. 1,900 cases made, 200 cases imported.

"The 2020 is coy to begin with. It flits with mocha, grilled oily herbs and dusty earth. Full and velvety, the palate offers brambly forest berries that pop with pleasantly tart acidity. Oak notes are well incorporated, and it's a neat and polished package, maintaining everything in its place. Resolute, slightly austere tannins take hold on the finish."
