The 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto La Casuccia is rich sensual and inviting as it so often is. The addition of Merlot to Sangiovese yields a Chianti Classico built on textural resonance with silky tannins soft curves and tons of sheer allure. The 2016 won't be ready to drink anytime soon but it is unquestionably a great wine in the making. Succulent dark cherry red plum menthol licorice cloves and new oak infuse the creamy voluptuous finish. -- Antonio Galloni
vFrom the small vineyard facing Castello di Ama from the north the 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto la Casuccia shows a dark and hearty side with rich fruit that flows steadily from the bouquet. Like the other new releases from this iconic estate this wine shows a pretty earthy note that is particularly well defined and fine-tuned in this vintage. The fruit is broad thick and horizontal. This is a Sangiovese painted with broad brush strokes. It'll stand another decade or two or open it sooner with a pappardelle al cinghiale. Published: Sep 19 2019
