"The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo 2016 is another reference wine from Tuscany that shows the incredible potential of this legendary vintage. This beautiful Sangiovese, from a vineyard, shows a graceful side with dark fruit intensity, cherry, plum, fresh violet and farm soil. Tar, tobacco and liquorice appear as delicate background tones that add volume and texture to the sensory impact of the wine. Vigna del Sorbo reveals its own precise identity, deeply faithful to Sangiovese but also pushing the boundaries to meet our highest Exceeding grape expectations for colour, concentration, aromatic complexity and persistence. That is the Panzano magic in a nutshell." (Monica Larner, robertparker.com)
