Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico Gran Selzione Casanova Il Puro – 2015 – The Wine Advocate – 95+ Points
95+ points
The 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Casanova Il Puro shows a dense and rich quality of fruit that is indicative of this sunny and warm vintage. It is the best wine I’ve tasted in this series of samples from Castello di Volpaia. The wine’s texture is thick and plush, and there’s plenty of dark plummy fruit to maintain momentum. Oak spice, tar and campfire ash appear on the long and enriched finish. Pair it with a braised shank of lamb. This is a pure expression of Sangiovese and only 2,000 bottles were made.
