Description
Still red Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, 14.5% ABV, produced by San Felice. Blend: 80% Sangiovese, 10% Colorino. 0.75L bottle, 2019 vintage. A wine of extraordinary longevity, made in the heart of Tuscany, in Castelnuovo Berardenga. The nose is very pronounced with hints of plum, blackberry, and raspberry, which pave the way for a full-bodied palate with soft tannins and balanced acidity. Aged for 36 months in oak barrels and barriques, this Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is a tribute to San Felice's passion and dedication.
