Comment on noteThe wine
Today I'm taking you to the heart of Tuscany to discover a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione that embodies elegance and tradition. This wine, from the historic Ricasoli estate, is a true immersion in the terroir of Gaiole, a treasure for lovers of authentic Sangiovese.
The Ricasoli estate, whose history is deeply rooted in the Gaiole in Chianti region, is an institution. This Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione comes specifically from the Colledilà vineyard, located at 380 meters above sea level. It is a pure Sangiovese, a grape variety that expresses all its nobility here, from a precise manual harvest.
This 2022 vintage is the result of careful winemaking: fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 24 and 27°C, followed by 14 to 16 days of maceration. The wine is then aged for 22 months in 500-liter barrels, of which 30% are new, before resting 8 additional months in bottle. To the eye, you will discover a deep, luminous ruby color. On the nose, aromas of ripe red fruits mingle with delicate floral notes and a spicy touch. On the palate, it offers a balanced structure, fine and well-integrated tannins, lively freshness and a persistent, savory finish. You will perceive a beautiful balance between the fruity component and earthy accents, a sensation of precision and solidity without any exuberance.
This Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is the ideal partner for the robust dishes of Tuscan cuisine. Imagine it alongside a grilled bistecca alla Fiorentina, a game stew or pasta generously coated with a meat ragù. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses. I recommend serving it between 16 and 18°C, and if you have time, don't hesitate to open it a few minutes before serving, or even to decant it, so that it can fully express its aromas and texture. It is a wine of character, perfect for convivial dinners and tasting moments where you wish to explore the richness of the Tuscan terroir.
