The 2017 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Stielle takes all the signatures of the estate and turns up the volume, resulting in an ample, dramatic wine that hits all the right notes. Black cherry, mocha, lavender, spice and leather build into the intense, palate-staining finish. The 2017 is such a gorgeous and vivid Gran Selezione. Don't miss it.

With 10,000 bottles made, the Rocca di Castagnoli 2017 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Stielle is a fully organic expression of 100% Sangiovese from a hot and dry growing season. Signs of the vintage come through with hints of tertiary definition and mature fruit. Baked plum, cola, black olive and rusty earth emerge first. The finish is mid-weight, and the wine ends with dry tannins that suggest a slightly shorter drinking window. This is an expression of hard work in a challenging vintage.

The 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Stielle is a very pretty wine. Crushed flowers, tobacco, cedar, leather and mint are very nicely lifted. The 2018 is a bit slender and also a touch forward. Even so, it is so well balanced that those qualities don't matter much. I would not push my luck on aging. The 2018 can only be described as exquisite.
