Chianti Classico Gran Selezione I Salci DOCG Tuscany

A varietally vinified Sangiovese from the heart of Chianti Classico – the Gran Selezione is the highest quality level of the denomination and stands for hand-picked grapes from a winery's best parcels.

Salcetino farms its sites around Lucarelli in the municipality of Radda in Chianti, one of the cooler and higher-altitude zones of the growing region. The soils of limestone, clay, and sand shape the style: taut, mineral, with the acidity structure typical of Radda. 100% Sangiovese, hand-picked.

In the glass, the I Salci shows the classic aromatics of a ripe Chianti Classico: cherry, plum, and a hint of dried violets, plus fine leather and tobacco tones. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, the acidity gives the wine tension and length. The finish is long and spicy.

Best served at 16–18 °C. Classic companions: Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar salami, Pecorino stagionato, or pasta with ragù. Anyone opening the wine now should decant it for at least an hour.
