The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista is outrageously beautiful. Graphite, crushed rocks, lavender, menthol and juniper berry all race out of the glass. A dollop of Malvasia Nera adds striking savory/earthy Gaiole in Chianti (Chianti Classico, Siena) intensity. Black fruit, gravel, incense and cloves build over time, framed by potent Bellavista tannins that need time to soften. Drinking window: 2026-2040. Score - 98.
