Dark-toned and impeccably sculpted, Il Caggio Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Ipsus 2016 layers black cherry and currant fruit with notes of wild herbs, earth and stone, all carried by vivid acidity and refined yet assertive tannins.

This is a serious, age-worthy Tuscan classic with real depth and personality.
