The story

Gran Selezione is the top of the Chianti Classico pyramid, introduced by the regulations in 2014: estate grapes only, at least thirty months of ageing, three of them in bottle, and an extra chemical and sensory examination before the DOCG seal.

At Casa Sola it comes from the Cabina vineyard, planted in 2006 and now dedicated to this wine. Long ageing, first in wood and then in bottle, brings out the elegant side of Sangiovese: ripe fruit, balsamic and spicy notes, a dense and long texture.

Production is limited and we sell it on request: write to us and we will tell you what is in the cellar. San Donato in Poggio, our subzone, is one of the eleven Additional Geographical Units of Chianti Classico, the mentions that may appear on the label precisely for Gran Selezione.
