The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Badia a Passignano shows a move towards a more refined style, even within the context of this wine, which is always a bruiser. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, menthol, spice and licorice are nicely delineated. There's less heft than in most years, and that is a good thing. The direction here is quite promising.
