Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione Cornia 2020 Colombaio di Cencio

The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Cornia from the Colombaio di Cencio winery represents the pinnacle of the expression of Sangiovese, grown in the stony soils of the Cornia area, 460 meters above sea level. This position, combined with the wealth of compact limestone stones on a sandstone base, limits the vigor of the plant and gives the wine an exceptional structure.

The harvest, carried out manually between the end of September and the first days of October, precedes fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 21 days. The refinement, lasting approximately 30 months in large oak barrels, helps to define the unique identity of this Gran Selezione, enhancing its complexity and elegance.

At sight it stands out for an intense ruby red hue and a bouquet rich in ripe red fruit, plum, vanilla and spices. On the palate, the entry is enveloping and elegant, with a lively balance supported by sweet and silky tannins. The finish is long and persistent.

It is ideal for accompanying braised meats and stews as well as game-based dishes.
