The Tasting
A guided note in three moments, by our curators
-
Appearance & Nose
01A profound ruby red with hints of garnet, this Chianti Classico Gran Selezione offers an immediate aromatic complexity, revealing notes of ripe black cherry, wild strawberry, and a subtle whisper of violet intertwined with earthy undertones of dried herbs and a touch of graphite. The nose is both intense and elegant, showcasing the purity of Sangiovese with a gentle embrace of oak.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it presents a vibrant acidity and firm, yet refined, tannins that provide a beautifully structured backbone, leading into a long, persistent finish that echoes the initial fruit and earthiness with a savory, mineral-driven conclusion. The mouthfeel is substantial and graceful, characteristic of a wine of this caliber and provenance.

At the Table
03This exceptional wine would be a magnificent companion to robust dishes such as a classic Bistecca alla Fiorentina, slow-braised wild boar ragu, aged Pecorino Toscano cheese, or a rich mushroom risotto. It also shines alongside grilled lamb chops seasoned with rosemary.
