Score 94/100 · Drink 2026-2042, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Sep 2021

The 2017 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Il Puro is a powerful, dense wine built for the cellar. Broad and textured, with plenty of energy, the 2017 has a lot to offer, once it has had time to soften. Today, the fruit is quite primary. Hints of cedar, spice and sweet pipe tobacco emerge over time rounding things out beautifully.

This is really classy, with perfumed aromas of flowers, cherries, blackberries and some currants. Full-bodied with very fine tannins and a bright, vivid finish. It’s linear and tight, offering so much and all in proportion. Hard not to drink now. Excellent for the vintage. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
