Conti Capponi – Villa Calcinaia
Vigna Bastignano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione
The Tasting
A guided note in three moments, by our curators
-
Appearance & Nose
01This Vigna Bastignano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione presents a radiant ruby red, hinting at its youth and vibrancy, with barely perceptible garnet tinges as it breathes. The nose is an intricate tapestry of sun-drenched cherry, wild herbs, and a whisper of Tuscan soil, underscored by a refined balsamic note characteristic of Sangiovese's noble expression.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it delivers a powerful yet elegant structure, its firm tannins gracefully embracing the vibrant red fruit and a subtle minerality that speaks of its esteemed terroir. The finish is remarkably persistent and complex, unfolding with layers of dried violet, earthy undertones, and a lingering, savory persistence that truly defines its Gran Selezione status.

At the Table
03This wine is a profound companion to classic Florentine steak, slow-braised wild boar ragu, aged Pecorino cheese, or a rich mushroom risotto. It also shines alongside hearty lamb dishes, celebrating the rustic yet sophisticated flavors of Tuscany.
