Chianti Classico Colledila Gran Selezione Barone Ricasoli 2022 (750ML)

97 Points, Aldo Fiordelli, JamesSuckling.com: "An elegant wine with cedar, graphite, red cherries, sweet violets and licorice on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, it shows fine tannins, savory fruit and a youthful, persistent, chalky finish. Drink or hold." 05/25

96 Points, Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast: "The nose leads off with summery aromas of vanilla, cherry and orange, then turns savory and autumnal with old leather, crushed rocks and hot tar. The palate is an evolution of berries and cherries, from crunchy and tart to ripe and sweet, while ferocious acid butts up against chewy, dense tannins. A marvelous defiance of what you expect from Chianti." 12/25

95 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The Barone Ricasoli 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Gaiole Colledilà shows a hint of sweet fruit that is typical of this vintage layered with plump cherry and blackcurrant. That distinctive mineral note that is such a driving force in past vintages appears with less intensity in this fruit-driven edition from limestone alberese soils. Bright acidity and silky tannins drive an elegant finish. This release of 15,000 bottles is aged in tonneaux for 22 months with 30% new oak and 70% second-fill barrel." 10/25
