Description
The pinnacle of quality in production, Gran Selezione is made from carefully selected grapes grown in the finest vineyards of Santo Stefano a Collegalle. A blend of Sangiovese (90%) and Colorino (10%), combining the authenticity of Chianti Classico with the finesse and elegance of a great red wine.
Alcoholic fermentation takes place in concrete tanks, fully respecting the grapes and their original characteristics. The wine is then transferred to wood for vinification and left to mature for 30 months in French oak barrels before completing its ageing in the bottle. A long and patient journey, which brings complexity and harmony.
It has an intense ruby red colour, enriched with garnet reflections as it evolves. The bouquet is broad and refined: raspberry and ripe red fruits, combined with the delicacy of wild lily, with spicy and elegant touches.
On the palate, it reveals a refined and balanced flavour, with a pleasant alcoholic structure, velvety tannins and a persistent, deep finish. It is a wine that can be both imposing and harmonious, designed for long ageing but already capable of thrilling.
The ideal companion for special occasions, it pairs well with red meat, game, mature cheeses and haute cuisine dishes, offering a complete and memorable tasting experience. Serve at 18°C.
