The 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Montebello Sette is a pure expression of Sangiovese aged in traditional botte grande for two years. The wine offers a clean and very complete interpretation of the grape with the added benefit of the more robust fruit tones of dark cherry and plum that you often associate with the Castelnuovo Berardenga sub zone. By the way, I had recorded last year's vintage as Chianti Classico Grand Selezione Montebello Vigneto N.7, but this is obviously the same wine. It is poised to improve and find further harmony with five or more years of bottle aging.
