Vecchie Terre di Montefili – Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Vecchia DOCG 2016

Produced from a single vineyard planted in 1981, the “Vigna Vecchia” (or Italian for “old vines”) is a limited production that is produced only in excellent vintages.  The 2016 features aromas of forest floor, crushed cherry and currant fruit and a hint of tobacco.  The palate features juicy fruit and classic mineral undertones of iron and iodine, alongside burly tannins and a quaffing acidity on the finish.

Falstaff – 95 points / Tony Wood – 94 points
