Barone Ricasoli Roncicone Gran Selezione Chianti Classico
| Vintage: | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Ricasoli's three Gran Selezioni are extremely elegant, firm and and linear renditions of Chianti Classico. The Roncicone vineyard is on marine sands, and tends to ripen a little earlier than the other single vineyards. There's a slight increase in fleshiness and riper cherry tones relative to the Colledila' bottling, while still maintaining a more finessed and mineral character compared to the Ceniprimo. Wine Advocate 97+ Points - "Once again, this is my favorite of the three Gran Selezione wines made by Barone Ricasoli. The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Gaiole Roncicone offers energy and a great sense of focus thanks to the elegant mineral tones of crushed seashell and chalk that frame a core of elegant berry fruit. Indeed, marine fossils are often discovered in this 10-hectare vineyard site. I love the precision and linearity of the silky and long-lasting finish. The personality is finessed and fine.". Wine Spectator 96 Points - "This red is a bit shy today, revealing a core of ripe cherry, strawberry, rose and iron flavors backed by vivid acidity. Its tannins are refined and well-integrated, while the finish is super long, salty and intense. Best from 2027 through 2047. 833 cases made, 400 cases imported." |
