Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2013

The Sangiovese grapes for the Chianti Classico Gran Selezione di Montemaggio are sourced from one particular vineyard – the only north-facing and Alberello grown vineyard on the estate. The elevated locations of the vineyards (from 450 to 600 metres above sea level) and the large variation in temperature between night and day, give this wine its unique bouquet. It has an intense ruby red color. It offers an intense and elegant bouquet – mineral, spiced with wild, earthy, leathery notes typical of Sangiovese grapes, enriched with hints of red fruit. Full, rich, velvety smooth on the palate, and at the same time austere and persistent with a pleasant tannins. Well balanced. We suggest decanting this wine an hour before serving.
