The Tasting
-
Appearance & Nose
01This Gran Selezione Chianti Classico presents a deep ruby hue with subtle garnet undertones, hinting at its age and complexity. The nose is an alluring bouquet of ripe black cherry and plum, interwoven with fragrant notes of violet, dried herbs, and a whisper of earthy forest floor.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied and structured experience, with firm, well-integrated tannins that provide a pleasing grip. The finish is long and persistent, echoing the dark fruit and savory nuances with a refined minerality that lingers beautifully. This wine is an exceptional companion for hearty Tuscan fare such as wild boar ragù, grilled Florentine steak, or aged Pecorino cheese. It would also shine alongside classic dishes like osso buco or a rich lamb shank braised with rosemary.
