Description
Monica Larner awarded this wine a rating of 92 points and said: 'The 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Sergio Zingarelli is this estate's most ambitious wine. This Gran Selezione is robust and powerfully endowed in terms of its aromatic impact. In contrast, the mouthfeel is more streamlined and fine. This blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Colorino walks a fine line between bulk and finesse. The texture is silky and the wine offers pretty notes of dried cherry, plum and toasted spice on the finish.'

Tasting Notes
(Translated from the Italian) Its pulp plum immensity presents the color and texture of a morello cherry, of a blackberry, and a vanilla sweetness, persisting in its smooth effusion. The more one carefully inhales this dense, calm and deep vastness, the more one is inspired, and feels the hyper-density, which unveils its full array of highest sweet, soft, harmonious and fruity features. There is no out of place or sour hint in this marvel of strength and structure. Sweetly full ripe berries, with the spices of the oak accented by mint and vanilla. A perfectly balanced wine, fundamentally powerful, and splendidly processed. Truly, one among the best Italian reds of this year for its elegance and enological integrity during processing, with a fabulous blue look from its smoothest berry. Score - 97.
