TASTING NOTE: The 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Badia a Passignano is dark, pliant and super-expressive. Black cherry, plum, leather, spice and mocha fill out the wine's broad shoulders nicely. As always, the Badia is defined by its volume, but these days, there is much less oak impact in terms of flavor and tannin profile. Two thousand twentytwo was not the easiest vintage to rein back intensity, but this is a terrific effort just the same ... Drinking window: 2025- 2037.
