Barone Ricasoli Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Colledilà 2020

James Suckling

Very perfumed with hibiscus flower, citrus and fresh cherry aromas that follow through to a medium body with layers of fruit and very fine tannins that go on and on. Totally integrated. A joy to taste and drink but will improve beautifully in the bottle. All about harmony.

Monica Larner - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Of these releases from 2020, I feel that the Barone Ricasoli 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Colledilà is the most sensitive to the warm growing season. You sense more fruit ripeness in this wine with savory spice, leather and toasted espresso bean. There is plenty of plum and purple fruit that is framed by crushed stone and campfire ash. Although the bouquet is not quite as brilliant as the 2019 vintage, this expression from 2020 does indeed offer pretty, balanced freshness in terms of mouthfeel. The vineyards see limestone alberese soils, and the wine ages in 500-liter barrel for 22 months (with only 30% new oak). Production is 14,000 bottles.

The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Colledilà offers up bright red toned fruit mixed with hints of blood orange, white pepper, mint and kirsch that lend a palpable exotic flair. There's a bit of new oak sweetness, but it suits the wine. Give this a year or two to soften.
