Dievole Vigna Di Sessina Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2016 750ml

Elegant and floral in the primary profile offering notes of lavender, hibiscus, agapanthus and lemon grass. There's more in the background with the luminosity of grapefruit juice and mandarin rind well blended into the matrix. Medium to full bodied, long and slender offering a good quality of fruit and a precise, delicate closing. With a little more tension and austerity it could be one of the best expressions of Chianti Classico.

95 Points by Robert Parker the Wine Advocate

The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna di Sessina de Dievole (100% Sangiovese) is similar to the Riserva of the same vintage but this wine offers a more profound definition, more powerful and also more flavoursome. The wine develops aromas and vibrant flavours of black cherry, blackcurrant, violets and wild herbs combined with a soft and smooth texture. On the palate the wine is structured, but the tannins are ripe and are beautifully polished, making it ready to drink despite its undeniable ageing potential. There is an impression of strength and sweetness, depth and brightness, concentration and really amazing freshness. A wine whose contours we will not tire of admiring. Highly artistic!
