Descrizione

The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from Terra Di Seta represents the pinnacle of production from this renowned winery situated in the heart of Tuscany. This wine stands out for its rigorous selection of Sangiovese grapes, hand-picked from the best vineyards, located in optimal positions to ensure perfect ripening.

With its intense ruby red color, accented by garnet reflections that become more pronounced with aging, the Chianti Classico Gran Selezione exhibits a complex and deep bouquet. On the nose, one can perceive notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, enriched by spicy nuances and a slight touch of vanilla, the result of aging in French oak barrels for at least 24 months.

On the palate, the wine is robust yet harmonious, with a well-balanced tannic structure and an aromatic persistence that invites another sip. Capable of evolving magnificently over time, this Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is ideal to serve with rich dishes like grilled red meats, game, and aged cheeses.

A true gem of Tuscan viticulture, embodying the excellence and passion of the Terra Di Seta winery for quality wine.

Winery history

The property is part of the Le Macie estate, managed by the Pellegrini–Della Seta family. The estate has been run organically since 2001; the modern winery was built in the 2000s and the first vintage released under the Terra di Seta label dates from the early 2000s. The family combines local tradition with direct management of the vineyard and winemaking.

Terroir and vineyards
