ORGANICALLY FARMED
This shows the balanced warmth of the 2018 growing season in the famously fertile Panzano area of Chianti: a moderately deep, garnet hue; a richly vinous perfume of ripe dark cherry and red plum cordial, balsam accents and fresh herbal hints; well-meshed warm, earthy clay accents; juicy, full-bodied, but expansive and complex in the mouth. Finely-woven large-grained tannins and some stony firmness in the flavors pulls the generous fruit back together into the finish. Years of life left on this one, but already a delight with enough air!
ANTONIO GALLONI; VINOUS 95 POINTS - 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Aluigi Campo ai Peri is a terrific follow up to the stellar 2016. Rich, deep and explosive, the 2018 Aluigi saturates the palate with dark fruit, leather, tobacco, spice, menthol and espresso notes. This ample, full-bodied Panzano Gran Selezione hits all the right notes. The marriage of elegance and pure power is compelling."
Le Cinciole's vineyards are on the eastern, Chianti Mountain-facing side of the Panzano region; they're moderately high in altitude, with "cooler" southeastern aspects, with soils formed by weathered calcareous sandstone (Pietraforte). This area is known for wines of compact fruit and tannic structure, that are elegantly delivered with a lifted vibrancy.
"As always, the wines here stand out for a striking sense of translucency that is achieved through biodynamic farming, minimalist winemaking and patience. Vinification is done in cement, while aging takes place in a mix of casks and smaller neutral French oak barrels." - Antonio Galloni
