Cecchi Valore di Famiglia 2020- Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

The wine has a pale ruby color. The nose offers concentration, complexity, and savory roasted and spicy notes. It opens with aromas of roasted bouquet garni, toasted wood with a sappy hint, licorice, crushed cardamom, roasted coriander seeds, vanilla, and juicy fruits (roasted red cherry, morello cherry, wild strawberry, ripe red cherry, blueberry, raspberry), tonka bean, cocoa, dried mint, and peony. The palate is juicy and tangy, and opens with fruity notes (red cherry, raspberry, tangy strawberry, red currant, blackcurrant, morello cherry), combined with sweet spices (licorice, hint of white pepper, cumin, cardamom), herbs (wild mint, bay leaf), wildflowers, and toasted notes (toasted almond, cocoa). The acidity is lovely, fresh, and mouthwatering. Good persistence with a pleasant bitterness, the tannins are fine and solid.
