Tasting notes
The 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Capannino is another potent, rich wine marked by high alcohol, except here the tannins are also searing in their intensity. I am not sure this forbidding Chianti Classico will ever be in balance.

This is another plump and intense expression from the folks at Bibbiano. The 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Capannino is a bold and contemporary wine with dried blackberry and ripe cherry aromas that are followed closely by spice, tar, leather and moist chewing tobacco. The wine offers sweet softness, especially when it comes to the quality of the tannins, with lasting fruit flavors. This wine should continue its evolution over the next 10 years.
Castellina in Chianti. 100% Sangiovese. Developing mid ruby with orange tinges. Subtle, fragrant orange peel, iron and cherry nose. Elegant and focused, if already beginning to mature. Slightly hot finish. (WS)
