100pts Vinous

The 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto La Casuccia is stunning. What a wine! In this vintage, the aromatics are huge and expansive, a theme that comes through on the palate as well. Cedar, tobacco, dried leaves, incense and blood orange all race out of the glass. The 2019 is mind-blowing in its intensity, pedigree and overall balance. It's the wine of the vintage in Chianti Classico.

Cool blueberry aromas with purple fruit and an inky highlight. Black licorice as well. Full-bodied with firm and racy tannins that are polished yet structured. Fairly tight and closed right now. It needs time to open and soften with bottle age. 

About the Wine

Beginning in 1978, certain parcels were identified as possessing outstanding soil
and microclimates due to extensive research into the terroir of the Castello di Ama vineyards.

Vigneto La Casuccia, whose first vintage was 1985, was the first blend produced
from the separate harvesting of three parcels of Sangiovese and Merlot.

The wine is produced in exceedingly limited quantities and only in the best vintages.

Vigneto La Casuccia is an impactful wine. In many vintages, it emerges energetic, balanced, s
ensual and vivacious, requiring time to fully express its full potential.
