Bibbiano Chianti Classico Vigna Del Capannino Gran Selezione 2020 (750ml)

Bibbiano's Gran Selezione from Chianti Classico's Vigna del Capannino vineyard is a Sangiovese-based red from the 2020 vintage. This is the top tier of Chianti Classico classification, made from organically farmed fruit and representing what the estate considers its finest offering from this particular site.

The wine opens with an immediate aromatic rush: wild cherry, plum, lavender, and spice layered with menthol, licorice, and dried flowers. Beneath that initial brightness sits deeper, more savory character, mushrooms, walnuts, dark fruit, and tobacco leaf emerge as the wine opens in the glass. The palate is deep and energetic, built on brisk acidity and firm tannins that give the wine structure and grip. There's warmth and richness here, with notes of dates and dried fruit that speak to the ripeness of the vintage, finishing tart and focused. This is a wine with considerable complexity and presence.
