Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione Poggio ai Grilli

Red wine from Tuscany

Alcohol: 14,50%
Grape: Sangiovese
Production: 2,400 bottles
awards Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione Poggio ai Grilli

52.40

100% Sangiovese. Fermentation for 15 days, 4 months in tonneaux with bâtonnage.

Aged 12 months in tonneaux and 12 months in the 22,50hl “Pamela 50” barrel.

Intense ruby red colour with garnet hues. Intense nose of red ripe fruits: cherries, black cherries and currants. A sweet note brings back to spices and flavours of cooked fruits, with a more herbaceous and minty background.

Great depth and very complex, it will need a few years to express its full potential and structure. Full, velvety palate. The young and bright tannins will mellow after longer aging.
