BATIGNANO CHIANTI CLASSICO GRAN SELEZION

Sangiovese
Organic, Vegan-Friendly
Dry
Medium Bodied

Villa Calcinaia is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, near the village of Greve-in-Chianti. This Tuscan estate has been home to the Capponi family since 1524.

Villa Calcinaia has undertaken a program to heighten the production of its Chianti Classico wines, renewing the terraces of their vineyards and recovering the historical clones of Sangiovese. The Vigna Bastignano, a single vineyard surrounded by a whimsical forest of pine trees, where the vines for this wine are cultivated, has been part of that project.

This Gran Selezione is consistent and repetitively persistent to speak its singular truth. It is truly hematic, a sumptuous, oozing full-fruit sangiovese with above the left bank of the river Greve coursing through its blood. Very smooth, seamless, finely tannic and beautifully high in ripe acida. If all GS carried such acid then the category would float even higher.

Chianti wines pair excellently with fatty dishes and stands up to tomato sauce dishes, such as pizza and pasta! It also pairs terrifically with rich pieces of meat: from cured meat boards to the regional classic bistecca alla Fiorentina.
