Lot #766. Fontodi Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Del Sorbo 2017

Description: Consists of 5 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 96+ AG.
"The 2017 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo is a dense, packed wine. It is also surprisingly, almost shockingly backward. That is probably a good thing for its long-term aging prospects. Readers hoping to get an early glimpse into the 2017 before it shuts down may have a hard time doing that, as today acids and tannin dominate. Proprietor Giovanni Manetti gave the 2017 18 months in barrique followed by 6 months in cask." Vinous.com, Sep 2020
Provenance: The Arctique Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $425
