94 POINTS - Antonio Galloni
"The 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto San Marcellino is stellar. Silky and very much medium in body, the 2018 is a wine more of finesse than power. Dark-toned fruit, coffee, lavender, licorice, dried herbs and a kiss of new oak all grace this exquisite, wonderfully nuanced Gran Selezione. In 2018, the San Marcellino is all restraint and understatement."

Deep ruby, with an ample, complex, and enveloping bouquet featuring fruit, in particular raspberry, and violets mingling with spice and minerality. San Marcellino displays beautiful structure, with vibrant, elegant tannins accompanied by harmonious savory accents. It’s an extremely well balanced, persistent wine.
