    The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Campolupi sports a magenta color in the glass and offers ripe notes of menthol, black cherries, pine needles, and violets. With a medium to full-bodied frame, it saturates the palate with ripe tannins, mouthwatering salinity, and even acidity coming through for a long and slightly warming finish. While I’m personally leaning toward the Riserva as my favorite wine in the range, this has a lot to offer and should drink and age well over the coming 10-15 years.



Tasting Notes

As the inaugural release of Campolupi Gran Selezione, this wine is sourced from high elevation Sangiovese blocks at 550 meters (about 1804 ft). Campolupi, meaning “Field of Wolves,” is a nod to the wolves that again roam the hillsides surrounding the vineyard blocks. This initial release is stunning, with enticing aromas of violets, ripe plums and black pepper. The wine is voluptuous and full bodied, finding a beautiful balance between Sangiovese's racy acidity and Colorino's round intensity. Flavors of blueberries and cassis explode on the palate, complemented by herbal notes of sage and rosemary. The lingering finish exudes hints of cedar and forest floor.
