Product Notes

Rocca di Castagnoli Stielle Gran Selezione Chianti Classico DOCG is a splendid offering from the historic Tuscan vineyards. It bewitches the senses with exquisite flavours of dusty cherries, alluring wild berries, and aromatic spices. Meticulously aged in oak casks then in the bottle, it boasts an impeccable balance of acidity and tannic structure – a testament to true Italian craftsmanship. A sip of this ruby red delight unveils a lingering finish that resonates with well-integrated notes of tobacco and leather. Remarkably harmonious and persistent, it is a testament to the rich wine-making tradition of the Chianti Classico region.

Tasting Notes

Clear hints of small ripe red berries. The spicy and balsamic notes due to the passage in wood are well-integrated, leaving space to the characteristic features of Sangiovese. On the palate it is full-bodied and potent with good acidity and enveloping, crunchy tannins that make the wine elegant and easy to drink. Fresh, lingering finish. The wine undergoes very wide filtration: this can lead to a natural sediment in the bottle that does not affect the wine’s sensory profile.
