  • The wine presents a rich and intricate medley of scents featuring the fragrances of both red and black berries, complemented by subtle notes of lemon, tobacco leaves, and a delicate hint of toasted oak. Its full, velvety texture gives way to a complex array of flavours on the palate, culminating in a refreshing and refined finish.

Fermentation took place with wild yeasts in temperature-controlled tanks, with regular pump-overs of the cap to ensure the desired aeration levels. The wine was matured in French oak barriques for 20 months, followed by one year of maturation in the bottle.

A complex bouquet shows red and blackberry fruit aromas with hints of lemon, tobacco leaves, and toasted oak. Full, velvety, complex flavours shine through on the sublimely smooth palate, producing a fresh and elegant finish.

Winery

The sustainably cultivated vines are grown in La Prima vineyard, which has marl and clay soils. Gran Selezione is a DOCG Chianti category and is produced exclusively with grapes from single vineyards or selected from the estate's best-suited vineyards. In addition to having stricter technical and organoleptic characteristics, Gran Selezione wines can only be released to the market 30 months after the grape harvest, having spent at least three months in bottle. These features place this at the summit of the Chianti Classico quality pyramid.
