Il Grigio Gran Selezione is the fruit of a painstaking selection of the finest Sangiovese grapes grown in the vineyards Chiesamonti, Colti and Pianaccio, which were selected for their consistent quality production. A remaining 20% is represented by the extraordinary indigenous varieties recovered in San Felice’s Vitiarium: Abrusco, Pugnitello, Malvasia Nera, Ciliegiolo and Mazzese, all selected to add lustre to the already noble Sangiovese. The result is an utterly unique blend, unmatchable anywhere in the Chianti Classico zone.
Grapes: Sangiovese 80%, native grapes 20%: Abrusco, Pugnitello, Malvasia, Nera, Ciliegiolo, Mazzese
Tasting Notes: Deep ruby red, while its full-volume bouquet releases fragrances that linger beautifully with scents of sweet violets that meld into smooth, spicy impressions of tobacco leaf. This is a full-bodied red, velvet smooth marked by ripe, succulent tannins harmoniously integrated with the acidity.
