JAMES SUCKLING 97 POINTS - "The primary fruit is impressive with black-cherry, blackberry and floral aromas that follow through to a medium to full body, fine tannins and a purity and beauty that I love. "

"This wine has made the jump from IGT Toscana to Gran Selezione, and it pulls out its credentials here. I love the brilliant bouquet, with bright notes of cherry at the beginning, followed by fragrant flower and lavender. The 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Zac is a very elegant and polished Sangiovese... Only 6,000 bottles were made." - Monica Larner, WINE ADVOCATE

"Baked plum, vanilla, menthol and fragrant purple flower aromas shape the alluring nose. Made with organically grown Sangiovese, the densely concentrated palate doles out mature Marasca cherry, licorice and tobacco alongside close-grained tannins that give some grip to the finish." - KERIN O'KEEFE

Aged for 18 months in large, neutral oak barrels
