Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, Badia a Passignano
Description
"One of the many highlights in this range, the 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Badia a Passignano is the most refined, elegant wine Antinori has made from their Badia a Passignano property. Medium in body and lithe, but with plenty of the fruit intensity that is typical of this site, the 2016 Badia captures a striking middle ground of richness and finesse that is captivating. Lavender, mint, blue/purplish fruit and licorice are all beautifully delineated. The gradual move towards less concentration in the cellar and larger 300 and 500-liter barrels has paid off handsomely. This is such a gorgeous Chianti Classico." 94 pts, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Producer Details
Another fantastic estate run by the Antinori family. Badia a Passignano is located above Sambuca Val di Pesa, 3 km south of Tenuta Tignanello; its 223 hectares, of which 65 are vineyards, extend over one of the most beautiful and suitable areas of the Chianti Classico. Its fundamental importance in the history of Chianti is reported in hundreds of volumes, now kept in the State Archives of Florence, which give news of the Sangiovese vineyards and the crops of the area.
