Curation Note

The Tasting

A guided note in three moments, by our curators

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    A captivating ruby red hue, deepened by subtle garnet undertones, announces the arrival of this Sangiovese. The nose is an intricate tapestry of ripe cherry, wild blackberry, and a whisper of dried violet, interwoven with earthy notes of tobacco leaf and a hint of balsamic.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, this Gran Selezione unfolds with a vibrant acidity and firm, yet refined, tannins that lend a delightful chewiness. The flavors mirror the nose, showcasing dark fruit purity, a savory minerality, and a lingering, elegant finish that speaks of its Tuscan terroir.

  3. At the Table

    03

    This Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is a superb companion to slow-braised lamb shanks, classic Florentine steak, wild boar ragu with pappardelle, and aged Pecorino cheese. It also shines when served alongside hearty mushroom risotto or grilled porcini mushrooms.
