WINE DESCRIPTION

Isole e Olena Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is an exquisite wine from one of the most renowned producers in Tuscany. The wine comes from the Chianti Classico DOCG appellation, known for producing some of the best Sangiovese-based wines in Italy. The vineyards are situated on the hills of the beautiful Chianti region, with soils rich in limestone and clay, and are tended with great care to produce the highest quality grapes. The wine is aged for an extended time in oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth to its flavor profile. It is a full-bodied wine with a bright ruby color, aromas of red fruit, spice, and leather, and a long, smooth finish. It is a perfect pairing with hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.
