The quintessence of research on Sangiovese at Castello di Fonterutoli resides in an experimental vineyard, planted in ideal pedoclimatic conditions for Sangiovese: 36 different biotypes of Sangiovese, including 18 massal selections coming from their old vineyards. A cutting edge agronomical project creates a pure-bred Chianti Classico Gran Selezione.
Pair with spiced roast meats, stewed game, aged cheeses, mushrooms and truffle.
"A pretty red with black cherries, walnuts, spice and hints of dried flowers, following through to a medium to full body, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Hints of bitter citrus rind. Very tight for the ripeness of this vintage." James Suckling
