Tasting Note: Vigneto Bellavista, Gran Selezione, 2016, Castello di Ama

Comments = This wine offers a beautiful elegance and finesse together with a good body, mouthfeel and a wonderful acidity. The tannins are powerful but not too strong and complete this wine to achieve a balance close to perfection. The finish is long, refined and seducing, centered around black cherry and black plum. This is without any doubt a superb Chianti with a lot of aging potential.

Final Grade = A+

Final Grade = B+
