Stylistically balanced, very finesse-rich Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from a small single vineyard (vineyard no. 7) in the Castelnuovo-Berardenga area, where the temperatures are always somewhat higher than in the rest of Chianti Classico. Dark, bright ruby colour. Elegant bouquet of pure Sangiovese of red berries with a very delicate hint of tobacco. Salty on the palate, shows a lot of pressure, very clear, compact fruit, builds up racy with tightly woven tannins; very intense and long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark ruby red with a drop of violet. Lots of mint, liquorice, violet candy, cassis and elderberry, precious wood on the nose. Lots of wood tannin on the palate, supported by sharp acidity and violet fruit." Falstaff

"Delicate aromas of redcurrants, tobacco and herbs; pithy in the mouth, the tannins powerful, smooth evolution towards a fruity, spicy finish." Vinum

"This lively Gran Selezione is less reductive than previous examples. The winery has introduced Tuscan wooden barrels with a more open grain, which should add perfume to the wine. Indeed, the blackcurrant is infused with pervasive scents of lavender and rosemary. The palate is robust and dense, continuing the dark berry fruit, with accents of bay leaf and mint." Decanter

"An open, overripe style with blackcurrants and black cherries on the nose, balsamic flavours adding complexity between rosemary and blood oranges. Full-bodied, with firm, dusty tannins and crisp acidity." James Suckling

"The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Montebello Sette 2021 is a dark, mysterious wine. Leather, cedar, incense and pipe tobacco lead to a core of dark Sangiovese fruit. The 2021 is a Gran Selezione that needs a little time in the bottle to develop." Vinous
