Packaged in a heavy glass bottle, the 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna di Sessina (with 9,000 bottles released) reveals a streamlined personality with pinpoint aromas of wild berry, forest floor and dried blackberry. This wine is vertical, focused and even a bit nervous in personality thanks to its firm tannins and fresh acidity. There is momentary ripeness on the mid-palate, but the wine finds good balance overall.
