bright red fruit and spicy aromas and flavors

bursting with aromas of mandarin oil

"Aromas of sliced apples and pears and minerals follow through to a medium to full body

Maybe Einstein could explain how that’s possible

This is always one of my favorite wines from this excellent producer

2018 Castello di Monsanto Il Poggio Chianti Classico Gran Selezione [WS96][JS96][JD95+] Spirits_Sake bright red fruit and spicyProducer: Castello di Monsanto Region: Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy Varietal: Sangiovese Year: 2018 Wine Spectator, 96 Points "A muscular red, with iron, almond, tar and underbrush aromas, which lend a savory element to the core of cherry and blackberry fruit. Dense, dusty tannins and a vein of mineral lend austerity as this red announces "hands off" on the tightly wound finish. Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino." James Suckling, 96
