The wine

Fifty of the best plots in the area, on Alberese clay limestone and Galestro schistous clay soils and almost 30-year-old vineyards between 220 and 510 metres altitude, the Gran Selezione di Castello di Fonterutoli is one of the flagships of the denomination. Using between sixteen and twenty months of small French oak (60% new), combined with a few drops of Malvasia Nera and Colorino together with the dominant Sangiovese, this Chianti Classico is a champion of elegance, roundness and aroma, an international style imbibed with history.

This first-rate Chianti Classico is a beautiful bright ruby ​​red in colour. On the nose, it is extremely refined, with complex fruity, floral and spicy notes. Ripe cherry, violet, leather, graphite, black pepper and mint. The first taste is powerful, energetic, and the tannins, which are very fine, are present but balanced by a tasty freshness. With its vibrant colour, broad aroma and harmonic taste, this Gran Selezione is trophy-worthy.
