Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you on a sensory journey to the heart of Tuscany, where Sangiovese reveals all its splendor. This Chianti Classico Riserva from the La Selvanella estate is not just a wine; it is a story, a terroir, a promise of unforgettable moments.
Nestled within the Chianti Classico appellation, the La Selvanella estate is renowned for the rigor of its selection. Here, Sangiovese, the region's emblematic grape variety, is cultivated with care, benefiting from a particular terroir that gives it complexity and a distinctive character. This wine comes from the 2020 vintage, a guarantee of quality for this Riserva.
The vinification of this Sangiovese begins with fermentation in steel tanks, followed by extended maceration. Then comes an aging of at least 24 months in oak barrels, which enriches its aromatic profile and refines its tannic structure. Visually, it stands out with an intense, deep ruby red color, with garnet highlights that intensify over time. On the nose, you will discover a wide spectrum of aromas: notes of ripe red fruits, nuances of spices, leather, tobacco, and a delicate balsamic vein. On the palate, this Chianti Classico Riserva reveals a harmony between power and elegance. The tannins are velvety and well integrated, supporting a full and robust body. The flavors of cherry, plum, and spices combine with toasted and vanilla notes, culminating in a long, persistent finish.
This wine is an ideal companion for intense, structured dishes. Imagine it alongside a red meat roast, a flavorful game dish, or a truffle-based dish. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses. But beyond pairings, this Chianti Classico Riserva is also a wine for contemplation, capable of offering moments of pure tasting pleasure. Let yourself be carried away by the richness of its flavors and the depth of its character.
