Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Aug 19
The 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Roncicone, from a parcel that is rich in marine deposits, is broad, creamy and inviting. Naturally, Roncicone has a bit more volume than some of the other wines in the range, but, too, is neither particularly complex nor distinctive.

Tuscany

Tuscany, a renowned wine region in central Italy, is famous for its high-quality Sangiovese-based wines. Key styles include Chianti, with vibrant acidity and red fruit flavours; Chianti Classico, known for greater depth; and Brunello di Montalcino, prized for its rich, full-bodied character and ageing potential. Tuscany also produces prestigious Super Tuscan wines that blend Sangiovese with international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon. Top producers are Antinori, for Tignanello; Castello di Ama, for Chianti Classico; and Biondi-Santi, for Brunello.
