Vigna Istine Chianti Classico Gran Selezione
The Tasting
A guided note in three moments, by our curators
-
Appearance & Nose
01Vigna Istine Chianti Classico Gran Selezione presents a luminous, translucent ruby hue with hints of garnet, hinting at its age and complexity. The nose is an intoxicating bouquet of ripe cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle notes of violet and damp earth, interwoven with a whisper of Tuscan garrigue.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Gran Selezione unfolds with vibrant acidity and a fine, silken tannin structure that coats the tongue with elegance. The finish is remarkably persistent, echoing the initial fruit and introducing a refined minerality that lingers long after the last sip.

At the Table
03This exceptional Chianti Classico is a perfect companion to classic Florentine steak, braised lamb shanks with rosemary, hearty wild boar ragu, or a selection of aged Pecorino cheeses. It also shines when served alongside mushroom risotto or grilled porcini mushrooms during the autumn months.
