Rocca delle Macìe Single Vineyard Riserva di Fizzano Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2021

Description

The name Il Crocino is the name of the plot (within the larger vineyard) and the second of this label because it takes five years to receive approval after initial filing the application. From the upper part of the hill with 10 percent colorino and the only sangiovese that sees some tonneaux, along with Gamba botti. The soils are quite sandy, Arenaria style and so Fizzano delivers a finer, sleeker and less structured wine. Was literally the beach way back when and so that is the mindset you would have when drinking this Gran Selezione though preferably up on a terrace with simple if fine and delicate cuisine. Was bottled in July and so some five more months should be granted before really considering a first glass. These are fine tannins, lightly grainy but not chalky and age-ability from the very proper vintage should be up to 10 years after vintage. Drink 2025-2030. Tasted December 2023.
