Brancaia Chianti Classico GS Gran Selezione DOCG 0.75L

The Brancaia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione stands for the best that the Brancaia winery in the heart of Tuscany has to offer — a Sangiovese that combines structure and depth in a balanced ratio.

Brancaia cultivates its vineyards in Chianti Classico according to organic principles and is one of the most reliable addresses between Radda and Gaiole. The Gran Selezione is the highest category within the DOCG — legally required is a selection from a single vineyard or a selection of the best barrels as well as a minimum aging period of 30 months.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby red. On the nose, aromas of sour cherry, dried plum, and herbs of the macchia, underpinned by leather, liquorice, and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, powerful but well-integrated tannins, lively acidity — typical for Sangiovese from this altitude — and a long, spicy finish.

Serve it at 16–18 °C, preferably after a short decanting time. It classically pairs with Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar sauce over pappardelle, or mature Pecorino Toscano.
