The wine

Castello Vicchiomaggio: the soul of Chianti Classico

I invite you to discover a wine that embodies the very essence of Tuscany, a refined expression of its terroir and history. This Chianti Classico DOCG Selezione is not just a wine, it is an encounter with the elegance and complexity of a region I love so much.

The heart of Chianti Classico: terroir and tradition

Nestled in the heart of Chianti Classico, the Castello Vicchiomaggio estate is a name that resonates with Tuscan winemaking tradition. Here, Sangiovese reigns supreme, grown on hills where clay and galestro shape the landscape. It is from this very special land that this wine draws its balanced structure and lively acidity, faithful reflections of its origin.

This Chianti Classico Selezione is mainly made from Sangiovese grapes, complemented by other authorized varieties, in accordance with the appellation. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks, followed by extended maceration that extracts all the richness of the aromas. Its aging, lasting 12 to 24 months, takes place in oak barrels, giving it softness and subtle spicy notes. On the nose, you will perceive aromas of red fruits, cherry and plum, enhanced by floral touches and balsamic nuances. On the palate, it reveals remarkable harmony, with silky tannins and a persistent finish that invites contemplation.

An ideal table companion

This wine is a true ally for your meals. I particularly recommend it with red meats, whether grilled or in sauce, such as a brasato. It also pairs wonderfully with game and aged cheeses, whose richness will be enhanced by its complexity. It is the kind of bottle you open to share an authentic moment, a taste journey to the heart of Tuscany, whether at a dinner with friends or to celebrate a special occasion. Let yourself be carried away by this elegant expression of Tuscan tradition.
