Castello di Volpaia Il Puro Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2018

Description

From 60-year-old Sangiovese vines at 1,470 feet of elevation in Radda, the 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Il Puro is profound and potent with kirsch, crushed roses, and fresh leather. Full-bodied, with a fresh lift of acidity and ripe and structured tannins, it reveals a long and warming spice that is lasting, with noes of cedar, blackberry, and toast. Allow a few years for this to integrate and open and drink 2025-2045. Score – 95. (Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com, Jan. 28, 2023)
