Colonia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG - Felsina

With the Felsina Colonia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, a first-class red wine finds its way into the glass. It offers a wonderfully bright, ruby-red color. When you swirl the glass, you can perceive a perfect balance in this red wine, as it does not appear watery, nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the sides of the glass. This single-varietal Italian wine reveals wonderfully expressive notes of raspberries and sour cherries in the glass. Added to this are hints of vanilla, tobacco and earthiness.

On the palate, Felsina’s Colonia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione starts off wonderfully aromatic, fruit-driven and balanced. On the tongue, this harmonious red wine is characterized by an incredibly meaty texture. On the finish, this well-ageable red wine from the wine-growing region of Tuscany finally delights with considerable length. Once again, hints of raspberry and sour cherry appear.

Vinification of the Felsina Colonia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

The basis for the balanced Colonia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from Tuscany is grapes of the Sangiovese variety. Naturally, the Colonia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is also shaped by the climate and winemaking style of Chianti Classico. This Italian can quite literally be described as an Old World wine that presents itself in an extraordinarily impressive manner. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the press house without delay. There, they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by several months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
