Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione Gaiole 2022

The 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Fattoria San Sano is a powerhouse. Inky dark fruit, graphite, liquorice, spice and mocha infuse the 2022 with tremendous textural richness. All of the saline energy typical of this site emerges with air, but the 2022 is a wine mostly of forward fruit and bold textures. The San Sano is aged in 12HL cask, an approach that works so well here. I can’t wait to see how it shows.
