Smooth blend of Sangiovese and Mammolo, this single vineyard Gran Selezione Chianti Classico boasts a lengthy aging process, including 24 months in new oak and an additional six months bottle aging. The floral notes is described by textured aromas of spice, prune, and crushed stone, though the flavor displays a robust structure, marked by lively zest and a long, satisfying finish.
