La Pieve Gran Selezione Chianti Classico
The Tasting
A guided note in three moments, by our curators
-
Appearance & Nose
01A profound ruby red hue, with just a hint of garnet at the rim, announces the Sangiovese's noble lineage. The nose unfolds with an intoxicating perfume of wild cherry, dried rose petals, and a whisper of forest floor, underscored by a subtle balsamic note.
-
Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Gran Selezione offers a vibrant acidity that perfectly balances its ripe cherry and plum fruit, leading to a silky, well-integrated tannin structure. The finish is remarkably long and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of earthy spice and a touch of bitter almond.

At the Table
03This exceptional Chianti Classico is a natural companion to slow-cooked wild boar ragu, grilled Florentine steak, aged Pecorino cheese, or a classic mushroom risotto. It also shines when served alongside roasted lamb with rosemary.
