WINE ADVOCATE 94 POINTS - "Made with 100% Sangiovese, the 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Montebello Sette is a selection of fruit from a single vineyard with 22-year-old vines in characteristic clay soils with lots of rocks. The wine is redolent of dark fruit, baked plum, cinnamon and tarry spice. This vintage is especially tight and rich in terms of its concentration, and the wine closes with fine tannins over a full-bodied mouthfeel. The fresh acidity is another plus. This is a 15,000-bottle release." - Monica Larner
Produced solely in the best vintages, Gran Selezione is a single vineyard wine; the 100% Sangiovese estate fruit is born in Tolaini's organically farmed Montebello Vineyard "numero sette”. Gran Selezione wines require even more aging, must come from a single vineyard or an estate’s best vineyards and pass a panel tasting of experts.
Aromas and flavor sof dried dark cherry, citrus, and plum with baking spice (particularly clove) and leather notes. Medium-bodied, with a firm, savory finish. A classical representation of the Castelnuovo Berardenga area that will be drinking in its prime this year.
