The Tasting

A guided note in three moments, by our curators

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    This Sorleone Chianti Classico Gran Selezione presents a vibrant ruby red hue, hinting at its youthful vigor, and offers an intoxicating bouquet of ripe cherry, wild blackberry, and a subtle whisper of dried herbs and Tuscan garrigue. Beneath these primary fruit notes, one can discern an intriguing undercurrent of fine tobacco leaf and a touch of balsamic complexity, a hallmark of its Sangiovese soul.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, the wine unfolds with a delightful balance of juicy dark fruit and a firm, yet elegant, tannic structure that gracefully coats the mouth, leading into a remarkably persistent finish. The acidity is bright and invigorating, ensuring a lively and refreshing sensation that lingers, evoking the sun-drenched hills of its origin.

  3. At the Table

    03

    This exceptional Gran Selezione would be a magnificent accompaniment to classic Florentine steak, slow-braised wild boar ragu, or a selection of aged Pecorino cheeses. It also shines alongside hearty mushroom risotto or grilled lamb chops with rosemary.
