Fontodi, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Sorbo Vintage:2012 so they had to do

so they had to do a very soft vinification and an extended élevage

I would make the same observation here though that plenty of patience is going to be required

it needs another 5 years or so in the cellar

An attractively fresh nose is comprised of extract of plum and dark pinot fruit that is liberally laced with floral and spice nuances that are trimmed in subtle oak hints

Fontodi, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Sorbo Vintage:2012 so they had to doJust as it was last year, the 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo is magnificent. Dark, brooding and reticent, the 2016 is not ready to show all it's got. If anything, the 2016 is even more reticent than it was last year at this time. Vigna del Sorbo has a great track record for aging. I have no doubt the 2016 will blossom in bottle, but that is not going to happen anytime soon. Antonio Galloni
