A dark but transparent magenta, the 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is loaded with aromas of lavender, blackberry, toasted cedar, and crushed stones. Full-bodied, it's juicy but light on its feet for this warm vintage, with plush tannins, a rounded, fresh mid-palate, and delicate, savory earth notes on the clean finish. This polished wine will do well with another year in the cellar. Drink 2025-2040. Score - 93. (Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com, Jan. 25, 2024)

Harvested grapes are dried in wooden boxes and slowly barrel-fermented then aged for up to 16 years in oak and chestnut barrels. Golden yellow colour with bronze hues.

A jeweled ruby color, the 2021 Chianti Classico is ripe and has a great nose of fresh wild herbs, pure raspberry, graphite, and fresh violets. Medium-bodied, its more cedar tones come through on the palate, with ripe, very well-integrated tannins, clean lift, and a hint of its toasted incense on the finish. A very well-balanced wine from Carpineto, it's showing beautifully now but will certainly improve in another 6 months. Drink date: 2024-2034. Score - 90.
