Tasting notes
The 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Cavarchione is packed with intense dark fruit, lavender, mocha and dried herbs. Even in this hot year, the 2022 retains plenty of energy and verve. It's a big, weighty wine, but all the elements are so well-balanced. The tannins need time to soften a bit. Deleafing here is minimal, as the site is very well exposed.

The 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Cavarchione is dense and explosive in the glass. A blast of dark cherry, blackberry, graphite, dried herbs, menthol, and sage stains the palate. This heady, broad-shouldered Gran Selezione has a ton going on. Readers should expect a potent wine endowed with notable textural presence. Time in the glass releases the aromatics nicely. The long finish is so inviting.
