Wine Advocate: 94 Points
Here is a classic and elegant wine from the heart of Tuscany. The Bibbiano 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigne di Montornello (a 15,000-bottle production) never veers far from the Sangiovese playlist. It shows bright cherry and tart wild fruit with forest floor, blue violets and hints of rust or soft gardening soil. Fermentation is longer in the case of this top-end wine, lasting 33 days on the skins in cement vats, and aging takes place in a combination of cement and French oak for 24 months. The cement is key to underlining elegance and freshness.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
Bright, with cherry, strawberry and currant aromas and flavors, this graceful red is underlined by a firm, linear structure. The supple texture lends harmony, and this glides to a long finish marked by red fruit, tobacco and mineral. Best from 2024.
