Note di degustazione
Lots of ripe fruit in the nose with dried-cheese and spice character. Full-bodied with round, ripe and velvety tannins and a juicy finish. Very flavorful and delicious now.

Barberino Tavernelle. 92% Sangiovese, 8% Petit Verdot grown at 350–490 m elevation from an estate that has been completely replanted by Paolo De Marchi. Dark crimson. Intense, turbo-charged version of the regular Chianti Classico from this admirable estate with more pronounced acidity and tannin. Not nearly ready even at six years old! I do wonder whether we need this rendition? (JR)
The 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, essentially a selection of the best barrels of Cepparello, is a gorgeous wine. More than anything, the 2015 is remarkable considering the challenges of a growing season in which rain during harvest created significant challenges. Nevertheless, Paolo De Marchi coaxed all of the potential out of his vines in 2015, adding a good dollop of Petit Verdot to the Sangiovese in crafting the Gran Selezione. Dense, powerful and beautifully textured, with intense underpinnings of saline minerality. The 2015 has a brilliant future, but it won't see the light until fall 2020 at the very earliest.
Informazioni sul produttore
Situata a nord di Castellina, sul versante occidentale del Chianti Classico, Isole e Olena, fondata dalla famiglia De Marchi negli anni ’50, è oggi uno dei nomi di riferimento della regione. Celebre per il suo Cepparello, Sangiovese in purezza, e per l’elegante Chardonnay.
