Expert Reviews
The 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Sessina, 100% Sangiovese, emerges from a one-hectare plot on soils that mix clay and rocks. Cured meat, lavender, spice, dried herbs and sweet tobacco lend beguiling complexity to the striking bouquet. Deceptively medium in body, the 2019 possesses notable textural depth and the structure to age.

Featuring strawberry, cherry, rose and mineral aromas and flavors, this pretty red is firmly structured, closing up on the tightly wound finish. Nonetheless, there's plenty of fruit, and this is super long on the aftertaste. Best from 2027 through 2047. 1,000 cases made, 300 cases imported.

In the bottle with the black label, the organic Dievole 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna di Sessina is a real beauty that offers a twofold delivery of elegance and power in this vintage. There are plenty of black fruit aromas that slide delicately into crushed stone, spice and grilled herb. This estate opts for fermentation in cement and quick oak aging lasting about one year. These steps insure intact primary flavors, and the wine is characterized by energy and lively aromas. Production is 9,000 bottles.
