Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2019

Tenuta di Lilliano | Tuscany
Tenuta di Lilliano | Loc. Lilliano 8 | IT 53011 Castellina in Chianti

Intense ruby garnet colour. Powerful nose of savoury cherries, spicy notes, light leather, orange and plum. Equally powerful, juicy and multi-layered on the palate, with finely characterised fruit and present, fine-grained tannins. The tension of this polished wine extends into the long, elegant finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark red; reductive, barrel-like, a little caramel; dense, concentrated, fruit, fullness, lots of sweetness, fine tart, long." Merum

"Bright, brightening ruby red colour. Fragrant nose of blood oranges, watermelon, raspberries, plus fine notes of fruit tea, also fine floral notes. Very juicy and clear on the palate, with a nice salty note, precise, elegant, drinks very well, with a blood orange final." Falstaff

"The nose features a playful, fresh blend of aromas, which includes cherry, vanilla, coffee, strawberry jam and milk chocolate. On the palate, the cherry and chocolate elements intensify, but are balanced by the sweet astringency of oranges. Tannins are ripping, while the acid is more restrained." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is a classic wine with lean fruit and elegant berry flavours that stays true to the Sangiovese grape, which is 100% represented here. The wine offers sultry, dark plum and spice with forest floor and black olive flavours. The wine ends with a medium-bodied finish and lovely freshness. Production is limited to 5,000 bottles."
