Fontodi - Vigna del Sorbo Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2013 (750ml) Spoleto

Fontodi - Vigna del Sorbo Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2013 (750ml) SpoletoThe 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo possesses off the charts richness and textural intensity. Beams of tannin give the wine its shape, but they are nearly buried by the sheer depth of the fruit. Readers should expect a dark, virile Vigna del Sorbo that is likely to develop at a glacial pace. The 2013 was reticent last year and is even more so this year.
