Austere and still reticent, this red nonetheless has the hallmarks of a terrific Chianti Classico. Intense and saturated with black cherry, black currant, olive, cedar and tobacco flavors that stand up to the beefy tannins. The vibrant acidity keeps this fluid and long. Best from 2020 through 2035. Score: 95 Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2020-2035 27 June 2018 |

The 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Badia a Passignano is remarkable wine in many ways. For starters, the 2013 is the first vintage of the Badia a Passignano done entirely in cask and in a more refined style than was the norm in the past, when this wine was rather bombastic. Outrageously beautiful, vivid and voluptuous, the wine is dark and enveloping, with tons of character and remarkable finesse. To be sure, this site will always produce ample, broad wines, but the 2013 is also incredibly elegant. Score: 94 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com 01 January 2018 |
