Product Overview
94 Points - Wine Spectator
"Laced with pure flavors of cherry and raspberry and shaded by a spicy oak element, this bright, balanced red is elegant yet reveals fine intensity. Light tannins line the lingering finish as iron and tobacco notes join in. Best from 2026 through 2042. 1,000 cases imported." -BS, 7/29/24

"The nose balances fruit aromas of strawberry, cherry and raspberry with weightier, savory notes of soil, graphite and dark chocolate. The cohesive, equally balanced palate brings more berries and chocolate, creating a classic, measured, self-assured Chianti." -DC, 9/1/24

"The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Badia a Passignano shows a move towards a more refined style, even within the context of this wine, which is always a bruiser. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, menthol, spice and licorice are nicely delineated. There's less heft than in most years, and that is a good thing. The direction here is quite promising." -AG, Jun/2023
