This is a sensual wine with notes of cherry fruit, tobacco, leather and hints of licorice and spice. The elegant tannins balance nicely with the fruit, all underlined by a fabulous stratum of acidity, making this a complex wine with incontestable structure and power. A long and satisfying finish confirms this Sangiovese is true to its terroir.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Showing great warm-vintage intensity and focus, the Tolaini 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Montebello Sette represents a deep dive into Sangiovese. This elegant expression of the grape shows a bold fruit profile with spot-on ripeness and bold cherry. It follows through with a mildly creamy texture. More depth is provided thanks to delicate mineral shadings and lightly toasted spice. These are balanced and elegant results.

Vinous
The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Montebello Sette is gorgeous. Sweet pipe tobacco, incense, leather, spice and dried flowers give this deceptively mid-weight Gran Selezione tons of aromatic presence. Time in the glass is so beneficial in bringing out layers of textural resonance.

James Suckling
A juicy and tense red with fresh red and dark berry character and hints of dried orange peel and licorice. Medium-bodied, firm and focused, with chalky tannins and bright acidity. Balanced and nicely formed.

Wine Enthusiast
The nose is sweet and earthy, with aromas of vanilla, cherry and orange peel, but also topsoil and crushed rocks. The palate is a fruit basket of strawberries, raspberries and more cherries, along with a dusting of orange zest. Acid buzzes around smooth yet dense tannins.
