Bibbiano Montornello Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2020

This wine, made with Sangiovese grapes from Montornello, has an intense ruby red color with cherry, sour black cherry, and underbrush aromas. The structure is dense and fresh, with a persistent flavor that lingers. Its character can be affected by cool and rainy summers, resulting in a more complex taste. I like the earthy and decadent aromas of meat and berries with bitter orange undertones. Medium body with a solid core of fruit and tight velvety tannins. All here. From organically grown grapes. So delicious now. Drink or hold. Though ripe, this red seems to be maturing quickly, offering leather, earth, autumn woods and truffle aromas and flavors. Approachable now, yet the firm tannins suggest this will continue to develop. Fine length. Drink now through 2033. The savory, almost exhilarating nose gleams with aromas of gun metal, smoke, leather, soil, dried cherries and cranberries. A peppery spiciness blazes on the palate, but linear tannins and acid keep the flames from leaping too high.
