The Tasting
A guided note in three moments, by our curators

Appearance & Nose
01This 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.

Palate & Finish
02On 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.
