The 2015 Chianti Classic Gran Selezione, essentially a selection of the best barrels of Cepparello, is a gorgeous wine.
More than anything, the 2015 is remarkable considering the challenges of a growing season in which rain during harvest created significant challenges. Nevertheless, Paolo De Marchi coaxed all of the potential out of his wines in 2015, adding good dollop of Petit Verdot to the Sangiovese in crafting the Gran Selezione. Dense, Powerful and beautifully textured, with intense underpinnings of saline minerality. The 2015 has a brilliant future.
