Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where history and vines intertwine. This Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from San Leonino, 2019 vintage, is not just a wine; it is an invitation to a sensory journey, a pure expression of this land I hold so dear.
This wine is born within the historic Chianti Classico region, a true wine-growing emblem. The San Leonino estate grows its single grape variety, Sangiovese, on vines that benefit from an ideal microclimate. The soils, rich in galestro and clay, combined with favourable temperature swings, give this Sangiovese remarkable depth and complexity. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks with a long maceration, a method that respects the integrity of the fruit before at least 30 months of ageing.
When you bring your glass close, you discover a deep, intense red colour. On the nose, this wine greets you with intense aromas of ripe cherry, red fruits and sweet spices, enhanced by balsamic notes. You may also detect light floral touches, vanilla and tobacco, subtle legacies of its oak barrel ageing. On the palate, it reveals itself as enveloping and balanced, with supple tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a pleasant sensation of red fruits and spices.
This Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is the perfect partner for your most refined meals. I warmly recommend it with grilled red meats, flavourful game or aged cheeses that will enhance its aromas. It is the kind of wine you open to mark a special occasion, or simply to savour a moment of pure pleasure, letting yourself be carried away by the authenticity of Tuscany.
