The wine

Colombaio di Cencio: The Soul of Chianti Classico 2020

Imagine a Tuscany where time stretches out, where every hill tells a story. It is there, in the beating heart of Chianti Classico, that I discovered a gem embodying the elegance and depth of this mythical land.

Montelodoli: The terroir, the estate, the appellation

The Colombaio di Cencio estate, nestled in this historic region, is a true guardian of traditions. It is here that the Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione Montelodoli is born, a wine that carries within it the imprint of its terroir. The soil, rich in galestro and alberese, and the ideal climate, are the foundations of its structure and complexity. This wine is the pure expression of the Sangiovese grape, the undisputed king of Tuscany, which finds here its noblest expression.

In your glass, you will first be captivated by its intense ruby color, a promise of beautiful concentration. On the nose, let yourself be carried away by enveloping aromas of ripe cherry, enhanced by notes of violet and sweet spices, a bouquet that invites contemplation. On the palate, this 2020 vintage reveals a fine and admirably integrated tannic structure, balanced by a pleasant freshness that gives it great longevity and remarkable harmony. Its vinification, with fermentation in steel and a long maceration, followed by aging of at least 30 months, ensures a depth and complexity that will not fail to seduce you.

At the table with the Montelodoli

This Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Montelodoli is the ideal companion for your most refined meals. I particularly recommend it with grilled red meats, good game, or aged cheeses. Picture it on a rustic wooden table, under the Tuscan sun, sharing a special moment with those you love. It is a wine that invites conviviality and discovery, a true invitation to savor the present moment.
