Piccini Chianti Riserva Gran Selezione Oro 2005 is Decanter's Red Wine of the week!
"Something of a Tuscan mammoth, Piccini is responsible for a sizeable proportion of Chianti's entire output. This impressively titled Sangiovese has an enveloping, velvety and spicy nose with violet highlights. It's well structured, with crunchy red fruit punching through the smoothly textured palate. Drink 2009-12. (£9.99) Tesco"

Piccini Gran Selezione Oro Chianti Riserva
Piccini Chianti Riserva "Gran Selezione Oro" has a lively garnish red colour verging vibrant crimson with ageing. Of intense and persistent fruity bouquet, flavour develops sinuously, subtle notes of vanilla and a dash of spice coming trough in the end. Warm palate with soft tannins, "Selezione Oro" reveals himself in velvety shades, rich in structure, with a long aftertaste. It is a wine of profound complexity, harmonious and elegant.
