chioccioli 'carismante' chianti classico gran selezione 2019

A minimal intervention Gran Selezione from Chianti Classico, showing what Chioccioli is made of. The nose unfolds with layers of red fruit, wild berries, and aromatic Mediterranean herbs, while the palate delivers a harmonious balance of ripe cherry, rosemary, and warm spices like nutmeg and clove. Dense yet velvety, its structured tannins and fresh acidity carry through to a long, mineral-driven finish.

The sangiovese grapes are picked at night and then go through spontaneous fermentation in terracotta amphorae, followed by 24 months in French oak and additional refinement in steel and bottle. Medium to full-bodied, it’s a wine of remarkable depth, perfect for pairing with grilled meats, mushroom risotto, or a rustic charcuterie board.
