Montelodoli - Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione di Villa S. Andrea represents the excellence of the terroir in the heart of Tuscany, cultivated among gentle hills and centuries-old vineyards. Produced mainly with Sangiovese grapes, this Gran Selezione elegantly and structurally expresses the intense character of the Chianti Classico denomination. The aging takes place in selected oak barrels, which gives aromatic complexity and refined softness to the palate.

On the nose, enveloping aromas of ripe cherry, plum, and sweet spices emerge, accompanied by hints of undergrowth and light balsamic notes, suggesting a wine with great evolutionary potential. On the palate, it is balanced, with firm but silky tannins, good acidity, and a long final persistence that recalls red fruits and damp earth, typical of Chianti Classico.

Villa S. Andrea confirms its mastery by interpreting the territory with elegance, making this wine ideal to accompany dishes based on red meat, game, or aged cheeses. A true ambassador of Tuscan tradition, capable of telling stories of passion and winemaking excellence.
