Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG Tuscany 0.75L

Isole e Olena is one of the style-defining estates in Chianti Classico — and the Gran Selezione is the pinnacle of this pyramid. The winery is located between Barberino Val d'Elsa and San Donato in Poggio, on southwest-facing slopes at altitudes between 350 and 480 meters. This location brings cool nights that sharpen the aromatics, and sufficient heat to fully ripen the grapes.

A dense ruby red appears in the glass. The nose combines ripe blackberry and cherry jam with tobacco, dried herbs, and a hint of cedar wood. On the palate, the wine appears structured and firm, with tannins that have weight but are not harsh. The finish is long, spicy, and carried by a lively acidity that gives the wine tension.

Suitable for braised beef, Bistecca alla Fiorentina, or aged Pecorino. Drinking temperature: 17–18 °C — feel free to decant an hour before opening so that the aromatics unfold completely.
