Distinctly sweet in aroma and flavor, this red offers ripe cherry, black currant, earth and oak spice flavors. Vibrant, with support from assertive, refined tannins, which drive the long finish.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 92:
This is the top-shelf wine from Sergio Zingarelli. His namesake 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Sergio Zingarelli (100% Sangiovese) shows rich concentration and a seamless delivery of aromas that spans from black cherry and plum to spice and moist pipe tobacco. The fruit here is soft and luscious, but the mouthfeel is medium in length. It would turn a platter of modest carne asada soft tacos into an important dinner. Some 10,500 bottles were made.
Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 91:
First crafted in 2010, this Gran Selezione hails from the Zingarelli family's historical Le Macìe property. The vineyards here have been slowly replanted since the 2000 vintage and as of the 2014 vintage, the wine is made exclusively from Sangiovese. It's all sweet herbs, flinty pepper and toasted oak on the nose. Soft, ripe and full on the palate, its polished, powdery tannins provide a balanced framework, while the finish lingers with notes of menthol and underbrush.
