Vigneto La Casuccia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione
The Tasting
A guided note in three moments, by our curators
-
Appearance & Nose
01This Chianti Classico Gran Selezione presents a luminous ruby-red hue, hinting at its vibrant youth, and offers an intensely perfumed nose with notes of ripe cherry, wild blackberry, and an intriguing undercurrent of dried violet and a whisper of balsamic. The bouquet is further enriched by subtle hints of new leather and a touch of graphite, characteristic of its noble Sangiovese origins.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this wine delivers a powerful yet elegant expression, with a firm, well-integrated tannic structure that provides a delightful grip, leading into a long, persistent finish that echoes the fruit and savory complexity found on the nose. The mouthfeel is wonderfully savory and mineral-driven, showcasing the exceptional terroir of Castello di Ama, with a lingering sensation of dark fruit and a refined, almost dusty, earthy finish.

At the Table
03This Gran Selezione is an ideal companion to slow-cooked wild boar ragu, Florentine steak grilled over charcoal, or aged Pecorino cheese. It would also shine alongside a classic Risotto alla Milanese or a rich Pappardelle al Cinghiale.
