Introducing the first-ever Gran Selezione from Brancaia, and making an impressive debut, the organic 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is all Sangiovese fermented with spontaneous yeasts and submitted to a careful 18 months of oak aging. Barbara Widmer and her team hit the right chords in terms of balance, clarity of flavors and intensity. There is a crunchy side to the wine that you only ever taste in the most expertly made Sangiovese-bas

Casa Brancaia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2019 is an exclusive red wine from Tuscany, Italy, and the winery's first wine in the prestigious Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG category. The wine is made from 100% Sangiovese from a single vineyard in Castellina in Chianti, providing a pure and precise expression of the area's terroir.

The 2019 vintage offers an elegant and characterful style with notes of flowers, cherries, and fresh, tart fruit, complemented by more complex nuances such as violet, mocha, undergrowth, cinnamon, and tobacco. The taste is full-bodied and balanced with great freshness, fine tannins, and a harmonious structure that makes the wine both inviting now and suitable for further aging.

The wine matures for 18 months in tonneaux followed by 3 months in concrete tanks, contributing to depth, finesse, and a beautiful texture. It has an alcohol content of 14.5% and a cellaring potential of approximately 20 years, making it an obvious choice for both wine lovers and collectors.

This Chianti Classico Gran Selezione pairs particularly well with complex and structured dishes, roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses. It is a refined Italian red wine for those who seek intensity, elegance, and classic Tuscan character in one and the same bottle. The product is delivered in 75 cl.
