Not many producers opted to make a Gran Selezione in this difficult vintage. The Rocca di Castagnoli 2014 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Stielle delivers above my expectations. Although the bouquet is initially shy or closed, it takes just a little more attention and patience before it starts to unfold, revealing bold and delicious fruit along the way. This is a pure expression of Sangiovese. Only 7,500 bottles were made.
