Ripe black cherry and plum glide through this 2017 Antinori Badia a Passignano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, layered with hints of cedar, tobacco, sweet spice and a touch of cocoa. Medium to full in body, it’s supple and polished, with fine-grained tannins and a long, savory finish that reflects the warm, generous character of the vintage while remaining lively and poised.
