Tolaini Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2015
Red Wine from DOCG, Tuscany, Italy
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.
