The Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione Montelodoli from Colombaio di Cencio is a refined example born in the heart of Tuscany, a historic land renowned for producing great wines. Obtained mainly from Sangiovese grapes, it expresses with elegant power the character of the Chianti Classico territory, where the favorable climate and soil rich in galestro and alberese impart structure and complexity to the wine.

Carefully aged for an extended period in oak barrels, this Chianti Classico presents with an intense ruby color, accompanied by enveloping aromas of ripe cherry, sweet spices, and hints of violet. On the palate, it stands out for a fine and well-integrated tannic texture, balanced by a pleasant freshness that ensures longevity and harmony.

Perfect with red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses, the Montelodoli interprets with elegance and depth the great tradition of Chianti Classico Gran Selezione.
