La Leccia Chianti Classico CV 750

Castello La Leccia Chianti Classico - the young, supremely dedicated Francesco Daddi took over this ancient estate in 1997 and has elevated La Leccia to a level that rivals the most ambitiously scaled wines of the region. From hand picked grapes and a miniscule production, with terrific fruit extraction and an ample overlay of oak, La Leccia gives a first impression of considerable power. After an hour of breathing, the supple fruit beneath the tannic cloak begins to emerge. This is serious wine from a property just beginning to show its potential.
