Fontodi - Vigna del Sorbo Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2011 (750ml) Langhorne Creek

Fontodi - Vigna del Sorbo Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2011 (750ml) Langhorne CreekThis is so layered and complex with dark chocolate, mineral, wet stone and black cherry character. So much fruit and polished tannins in this wine yet tight and composed. It needs another three to four years to completely open and show what great quality it truly has. Super and truly gran selezione, or great selection in English.

Rich and lively nose of floral notes then very quickly brings on delicious small black fruits

but also a touch of freshness that makes it pleasant to drink

With eight years aging after bottling and plenty of reserve wines in the blend

North Pinot

mocha and coffee

sweet experience

This should settle in with some cellaring

and the rest of the ensemble give complexity

vineyards spanning from the Horse Heaven Hills to the Wahluke Slope

the grapes are vinified following the traditional method without the addition of any concentrated must

This wines gives up Chinese five spice

overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea
