The Tasting

A guided note in three moments, by our curators

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    This 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.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On 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.

  3. At the Table

    03

    This 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.
