Carpineta Fontalpino Dofana Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2018 in Brampton, ON

The first thing that needs to [be] mentioned and also discussed is place, that being the clay and Alberese, 300-plus meters of elevation and uniqueness, even for the place within the place. There is a sanguine character plus blood orange and liquorice, some dried herbs and just a touch of balsamic. Truly complex sangiovese from this cru, now entering into its ideal drinking time. Last tasted October 2023. Score - 96.
