Had this with pasta alla Trapanese and it paired beautifully. Served a little too chilled but once it warmed there was plenty of fresh berry and a nice melon character on the nose and palate. Finished with a little acidity but very well balanced. Would drink again. — 2 days ago

Delicious wine not heavy or strong like some Montepulciano, this is a light flavorful wine with hints of raspberry. Had this with chicken casserole with fresh thyme and sage in a red wine stock. — 10 months ago

Have become a fan of the super tuscans withe their dry, full bodied character. This one has a good flavor, great accompaniment to pasta! — 4 days ago

Pale ruby in color; cherries, raspberries, and baking spices on the nose; high acidity; medium tannins; tastes like tart cherries, dried herbs and crushed gravel with a long finish. Nellie liked it with food. I love it. — 7 months ago

I love wines that have lots of flavor! Raspberry, oak, plum, and a touch of pepper on the finish. Very layered but not very heavy. Easy drinking but holds up well to food. Just a hint sweet which lets it do better with some BBQ in my opinion. — 4 years ago

Light fruits on the nose ripe strawberries, watermelon and a bit medicinal. Not so fruit forward on the palate; quite smooth but this has been open for a day now. Acquired through Molesini Wine Club. — 2 months ago

Superb with our Margarita Pizza. Big Cherry aromas with the slightest tawny tinge as I poured. Bold flavors with a long finish. Two bottles left! — 6 months ago

After another great webinar hosted by @Antonio Galloni today with legends of Chianti Classico, obviously I had to reach for a bottle. This is a Gran Selezione from Bacci-owned Castello di Bossi in the southern half of the DOCG.

Bright ruby red, unfiltered (as witnessed by a hypnotic haziness in the glass). Nose delivers underripe aromas of greenery, sour cherry, oak, and leaves. On the palate, it's just over medium weight, medium plus alcohol fairly well disguised, dry with medium acidity yet bitter. The tannins are firm and lack finesse. Medium finish length.

The are much better examples of Gran Selezione, even in this price range. But, it's hard to not keep drinking this with gratitude.
