"Made entirely with Sangiovese, this opens with aromas of red berry, cooking spice and leather. The juicy, radiant palate offers tart red cherry, cranberry, tobacco and clove alongside polished tannins. Firm acidity keeps it well balanced. Drink 2021–2028."
- Wine Enthusiast

The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from Castello di Albola has a ruby red color with garnet reflections. The nose opens with an elegant and intense bouquet, with floral notes of lily, hints of pepper, cinnamon and tobacco. On the palate it is firm and voluminous, sweetly tannic, with a pleasantly long and persistent finish.

ABV: 14.5%

Finest Zinfandel—True Californian Class.

Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.

Smooth drinking wine and great value for money.

Outstanding

Elegant, well-balanced and fantastic value for money!

chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking

Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!

Extremely smooth
