Bellezza Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG - Castello di Gabbiano

Behind the name of the varietal Supertuscan Bellezza Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from Castello di Gabbiano is the meaning beauty, which is also reflected in the wine.

With an intense, dark ruby red, this Italian wine presents itself in the glass. The expressive bouquet spoils with delicate aromas of ripe red berries, citrus fruits - underlined by notes of spices and vanilla. On the palate, this red wine convinces with its complexity and complexity with spicy aromas and a hint of tobacco. The typically incisive acidity of the Sangiovese gives this wine a certain freshness and harmonizes wonderfully with the elegant, silky tannins. A long lasting finish concludes this red wine.

The Sangiovese grapes come from 12 year old vines and grow in the best sites of Castello di Gabbiano. The careful harvest and the rigorous selection in the cellar are carried out exclusively by hand.
