This pure Sangiovese has a bright nose, a nod to its temperate vintage, with floral aromas -- roses and violets -- followed by cypress and fresh rosemary. On the palate, flavors of ripe raspberries and hints of vanilla bean dominate. The mouthfeel is complex, full of soft tannins and uplifting acidity that bears the signature of classic Sangiovese. The finish has noticeable minerality with lingering notes of orange peel and cedar. The balance of acid, fruit and earth showcases the true terroir of this region.

Lush and dense, with both black cherry and blackberry fruit, but firm, ripe tannins too. Fluid and balanced, with a burr to the finish, along with a mineral, mouthwatering impression. Finds nice harmony and length in the end. Best from 2025 through 2042. 960 cases made, 453 cases imported.

A bright magenta color, the 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Strada Al Sasso is going to need some time to harmonize, but it's a polished wine with aromas of cedar, boysenberry, menthol, rosemary, and violets. Full-bodied, it has good freshness and brighter acidity, with ripe tannins, a rich underlying texture, and a mouthwatering finish. This well-balanced Chianti Classico will benefit from another year or two in bottle. Drink 2026-2040.
