Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2018 DOCG

A Sangiovese that shows what Chianti Classico means at the highest level: deep ruby red, multi-layered on the nose, with a clear signature in every sip.

Tenuta Casenuove lies in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone between Florence and Siena — one of the few appellations in Italy where Sangiovese can unfold its entire range. The Gran Selezione is the highest level of the DOCG pyramid, reserved for single sites or top selections from the cellar.

On the nose, the 2018 opens with violets, forest berries, and dark cherry, underlaid by tobacco leaf and fine spice. On the palate, it shows structured, silky tannin that knows no hardness, but depth. The fruit remains fresh, the finish long and persistent — this is the persistence that distinguishes Gran Selezione from simpler Chianti Classico wines.

Served at 16–18 °C, best after an hour of decanting. Classically with lamb shoulder braised in red wine, but it also cuts a strong figure with Bistecca alla Fiorentina, game ragù, or mature Pecorino.
