“The 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Il Puro - Casanova is a deep ruby with magenta highlights and takes things to the next level, with woven layers with wonderful purity, notes of raspberry liqueur, violets, candied flowers, sweet sage, and fresh pine. This continues to the palate with a really refined feel, revealing ripe fruit, sweet tannins, and a seamless structure with even acidity and a long finish. This stunning wine will be hard to resist now, but there’s no question it will improve with cellaring over the next 20 or more years.”

“Aromas of red cherries, dried strawberry bush, bark and wet stones with hints of dried herbs, citrus peel and cedar. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and complex with fine, velvety tannins. Structured and compact. Very balanced with a lingering finish.”

"Rich and vibrant, this red evokes black cherry, blackberry, violet, mineral and wild herb flavors. Dense, with spice accents on the lingering finish. Firm tannins line the finish, so decant now or age this a few more years."
