2015 Bellezza Chianti Classico Gran Selezione @Wine-Searcher

Wine-Searcher.com:   in the article ‘Chianti's Top Tier Grows Up’  wine writer W.

This reminds me of a Riserva in that its tannins are more noticeable than many Gran Seleziones. The Gran Selezione category might be most useful for these large-company wines; this is a very characteristic Chianti Classico that...
