Curation Note

The Tasting

A guided note in three moments, by our curators

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    Cranberry red, with ruby glints, this Chianti Classico Gran Selezione presents an intensely fragrant bouquet of wild cherry, violet, and a hint of Tuscan garrigue. The nose is further enriched by subtle notes of leather and a whisper of pipe tobacco, indicative of its Sangiovese soul.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, it delivers a robust, yet elegant, structure with fine-grained tannins that coat the tongue with a pleasing dryness, leading to a persistent finish of dark fruit and earthy undertones. The long, savory conclusion echoes the initial aromatic complexity, revealing layers of complexity that evolve with each sip.

  3. At the Table

    03

    This wine is an ideal companion for slow-cooked wild boar ragu, grilled Florentine steak, aged Pecorino cheese, or a hearty mushroom risotto. It also shines alongside roasted lamb with rosemary and garlic.
