2021 Principe Corsini Don Tommaso Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

Tense and structured with energetic red fruits.

Certified organic. Deep dark red black core with a dark red hue. Elevated scents of red to black currant, rose petals and red to dark cherries are interwoven with spicy cedar, earthy tobacco, dried herb and leather notes. Medium bodied, generous red to black currant and red cherry fruits are framed by chalky tannins. Notions of red liquorice, earth, tobacco, cedar and spicy dried herbs form across the back half. Good tension and grip with vibrant acidity lending an energetic feel to the long, refined yet slightly rustic finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews…..
A restrained wine with vanilla, plums, cherries and a balsamic note. Full-bodied with velvety tannins and flavors of graphite and fruit. It’s very nuanced, supple and savory on the chalky finish. Sangiovese with 20% merlot. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.
