Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista
-- Galloni: Ama's 2007 Chianti Classico Vigneto Bellavista is darker, richer and firmer than the Casuccia, much of which comes from the addition of 20% Malvasia Nera to the Sangiovese. A firm tannic spine frames wild cherries, smoke, licorice, menthol, tobacco and grilled herbs in a virile, potent Chianti Classico. If the tannins soften, the Bellavista might very well merit a higher score, but today it lacks the sheer appeal and sexiness of the Casuccia. Readers who prefer dark, brooding wines (think Serralunga for Barolo) might very well prefer the Bellavista, personally it is splitting hairs at this level. 96/100
