2011 Castello di Ama San Lorenzo Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG, Tuscany

92+ pts - Antonio Galloni 80% Sangiovese, 20% Malvasia Nera, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir Round, sensual and inviting, the 2011 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo shows what older vines can do in a warm vintage. Rich and beautifully layered in the glass, but also remarkably weightless, the 2011 is all about harmony. Sweet tobacco, mint, crushed flowers and licorice all flesh out in the glass. The style is classic Ama; creamy and resonant to the core. The San Lorenzo is essentially the wine that was formerly known as Chianti Classico Castello di Ama. Last tasted Sep 2015; Drink 2017 - 2031.
