Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG - Casaloste

With the Casaloste Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, a first-class organic red wine flows into the swirling glass. It reveals a wonderfully dense, ruby-red color. When held at a slight angle, the rim of the red wine glass shows a charming garnet-red hue. If you give it some air by swirling it in the glass, this red wine reveals high viscosity, which is evident in pronounced church windows on the glass wall. Poured into a red wine glass, this red wine from Italy reveals wonderfully expressive aromas of sour cherry and blackcurrant, rounded off by further fruity nuances contributed by maturation in wooden casks.

The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from Casaloste is perfect for all wine lovers who prefer as little sweetness in wine as possible. At the same time, it never appears meager or austere, as one might naturally expect in an icon wine segment. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an incredibly velvety texture. Thanks to its balanced acidity, the Chianti Classico Gran Selezione caresses the palate with a pleasing mouthfeel, without lacking juicy vibrancy. The finish of this well-ageing red wine from the Tuscan winegrowing region, more precisely from Chianti Classico DOCG, ultimately delights with a remarkable length.
