Tolaini Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2015

The team at Tolaini discovered that the spectacular clay and galestro soil, slope and exposition of Tolaini Montebello vineyard number 7 produced impeccable Sangiovese: pure in spirit, and transcendent in quality. Their mandate became clear: to create a single vineyard 100% Sangiovese, Chianti Classico Cru, a wine of extraordinary complexity, with a powerful aromatic signature and palate of explosive cherry, tobacco, leather, licorice and spice notes, with a firm, balanced structure of tannin and acidity, for a wine of both power and elegance. It merits the highest designation in the Classico DOCG.

This is a sensual wine with notes of cherry fruit, tobacco, leather and hints of licorice and spice. The elegant tannins balance nicely with the fruit, all underlined by a fabulous stratum of acidity, making this a complex wine with incontestable structure and power. A long and satisfying finish confirms this Sangiovese is true to its terroir.
