Product Notes

A premium offering from Rocca di Castagnoli, the Stielle Gran Selezione Chianti Classico DOCG is an exquisite representation of Italian craftsmanship. This wine is noted for its robust structure and deep crimson hue. A bouquet of black fruit, chocolate, and hints of spice captivates the senses, leading to an opulent palate dominated by cherries, blackcurrants, and well-structured tannins. With ageing, this wine develops layers of complexity, making it an unforgettable experience. Its refined finish perfectly complements hearty dishes, making it an ideal partner for a delightful dining experience. For connoisseurs, it is a quintessential Chianti Classico.

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.
