Ricasoli Roncicone Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2019 in Brampton, ON

The aromas and structure to this single vineyard Chianti Classico are something else this year. The orange-peel, meat and cherry aromas are lifted and spirited. It's medium-bodied with firm, chewy tannins that are dusty and fine-grained. Structured and sturdy with a granite-like presence. Try after 2025, but impressive to taste. [This wine has the stuff to evolve into the late 2030s.] Score - 98. (jamessuckling.com, Dec. 1, 2022) The aromas and structure to this single vineyard Chianti Classico are something else this year.
