Dark-toned and concentrated, Antinori’s 2022 Badia a Passignano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione delivers black cherry and plum framed by leather, subtle chocolate and vanilla, and a touch of balsamic-savory depth. The palate is bone-dry, tightly focused and vertical, with vivid acidity and firm, chalky tannins that give impressive grip and length, making this a powerful but now more refined expression of this traditionally broad-shouldered wine. A serious, ageworthy Gran Selezione that channels the heat and intensity of the vintage into freshness and structure rather than excess oak.
