Badia a Passignano Gran Selezione 2016
CRITIC REVIEWS
Walter Speller
Concentrated ruby. Quite a singed nose with dried-fruit notes, but with aeration also notes of cherry appear. Bags of sweet fruit cut through by tangy acidity. Not the subtlest of wines and ready now. (WS)
Monica Larner
Badia a Passignano is one of the last vineyards to mature and one of the first to start, so it always has a very long growing cycle. The spring began with good weather with budbreak coming about ten days early, followed by a cool, early summer and a hot August. The Sangiovese-based 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Badia a Passignano shows some real ripeness on the close with more red and purple fruit rather than black fruit characteristics. This is a very traditional expression of the Tuscan grape and the least international of Marchesi Antinoris offerings. Its the kind of classic Sangiovese that belongs on the table next to a pappardelle with your favorite ragù.
