This Chianti Classico Gran Selezione has an intense ruby red color with purple hues. A combination of a dense structure and elegance, strength and finesse. Well balanced and harmonious to the palate, with a very pleasant taste and sweetness due to the velvety and ripe tannins. An outstanding flavor wrapped in elegant softness with aromas of sour black cherry, prune, balsamic with sweet spices, cinnamon, and cloves. Very long final persistence.
This wine pairs well with traditional cold cuts: salami and matured sheep and cow cheeses. Roasted white and red meats, pasta with traditional game meat sauces or heavy creamy sauces.
This red starts out smooth, displaying ripe black cherry and plum flavors, along with earth, iron and woodsy elements. Gains power as this builds on the palate, ending in an extended aftertaste of loam, iron and wild herb accents. Best from 2023 through 2045.
Dark berries with flowers and dark mushrooms. It’s medium-to full-bodied with very fine, racy tannins and a fresh, linear finish. Extremely well crafted. Very typical for the vintage. This will age very well. Drink or hold.
The Bibbiano 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Capannino shows classic lines and balanced intensity with a nice spot of acidity and plenty of dark berry fruit to soften it out. The 2016 vintage is a classic one in Tuscany, and that's why you get so much cooling cherry, forest berry and cassis on this versatile Gran Selezione wine. Try to find some wild boar for a Tuscan pappardelle al cinghiale with shaved pecorino.
Bibbiano makes two Gran Selezione, one from the northeastern facing side of the slope and this one from the southwestern. A warm site, Vigna del Capannino was replanted in 2009 with Sangiovese clones coming from the southern reaches of Montalcino. The 2016 vintage is surprisingly ripe in its expression. Black cherry and dried plum are infused with smoky herbs. The focus here is on concentration and power. Tannins are rather demanding at the moment. Finishes with a warming sensation. Drinking Window 2021 - 2029.
