2021 Barone Ricasoli Chianti Classico ‘Colledilà’ Gran Selezione

97 points #50 Top 100 Wines 2024 Wine Spectator Packed with cherry raspberry and pomegranate flavors this red is also succulent and verging on racy in profile with a deep vein of mineral and peppery spice notes that intensify on the extended finish. Shows superb balance and grace with the best yet to come. Best from 2027 through 2048.

96+ points Wine Advocate The Barone Ricasoli 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Gaiole Colledilà opens to dark fruit but perhaps more significantly you get a slate-like mineral note that adds focus. That mineral note appears in all these beautiful Gran Selezione wines from vintner Francesco Ricasoli but in the case of this bottle it adds a dark or slightly brooding personality. The finish is absolutely savory and salty. Drink 2024-2042.
