Castello di Ama Vigneto Bellavista, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG, Italy 2021

“Bellavista” 2021 . A refined, high-elevation Gran Selezione offering elegance and precision, with red cherry, crushed flowers, and subtle spice layered over a sleek, mineral backbone. More lifted and graceful than its counterpart La Casuccia, the 2021 shows vibrant energy, fine tannins, and a long, perfumed finish an expressive, terroir driven take on Sangiovese.

"The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista is a stunner. Dense, powerful and forbidding, in classic Bellavista style, the 2021 packs an immense punch. It is also a very potent wine. All of the Bellavista signatures are present, but they are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. Graphite, sage, crushed rocks, lavender, mint and dried herbs all play off a core of cool, dark-toned fruit. The 2021 is a bruiser-a beautiful, vivid bruiser. I can't wait to see how it ages."
