Terrazze San Leolino Gran Selezione Chianti Classico
The Tasting
-
Appearance & Nose
01This Sangiovese presents a luminous ruby hue, hinting at its vibrant youth and the Tuscan sun it absorbed. The nose is a captivating bouquet of crushed wild berries, fragrant violets, and a subtle undercurrent of earthy truffle and aged leather, classic hallmarks of a refined Chianti Classico.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it unfolds with a delightful balance of bright cherry acidity and a firm, yet elegant, tannic structure that coats the mouth. The finish is impressively long and persistent, leaving lingering notes of savory herbs and a whisper of dark chocolate. This Terrazze San Leolino Gran Selezione would be exceptional with a slow-braised wild boar ragu, a perfectly grilled bistecca alla fiorentina, or a selection of aged Pecorino Toscano cheese. It also shines alongside a classic Florentine lampredotto sandwich.
