“Vigna San Marcellino” Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2019 (BIO)
Vigna San Marcellino Gran Selezione is both youthfully fresh and ripe and complexly muscular. It contains a healthy dose of the deeply coloured Pugnitello grape, and on the nose liquorice, tarragon and broom mingle with lush plum and subtle roasted aromas that are highly seductive in their complexity. Deep, taut and lively on the palate, loaded with black cherry and rich, velvety tannins. The texture is silky, while subtle chalky notes and a salty minerality give it plenty of energy and lead it into a juicy, refreshing finish. Vigna San Marcellino is a convincing wine with enormous ageing potential every year. SUPERIORE.DE

To the delight of all of us, the times when Chianti Classico was considered a wine for the table with no ageing potential have long been a thing of the past. The fact that today the most discerning wine collectors are thrilled by the storability of this red wine is also thanks to the introduction of a third wine category in 2013: the new quality pinnacle of the historic growing region is now called Chianti Classico Gran Selezione (in German: "great selection") and competes above all with Brunello di Montalcino in the Italian top league.
Traditional Chianti Classico character at the highest level
For the new top category, the prescribed ageing period is at least 30 months - including a quarter of a year in the bottle. For comparison, the lowest level of the quality pyramid - the young vintage Chianti Classico - is stored in the wine cellar for only twelve months, while the middle category - the Chianti Classico Riserva - may be sold after two years of ageing.
In the search for powerful and storable Chianti Classico wines, one no longer reaches exclusively for the Riserva, but above all for the Gran Selezione. Within this strictly regulated category, the focus is entirely on the Tuscan Sangiovese grape. To this end, it was agreed in 2022 that the Sangiovese share should no longer be 80%, but at least 90% in the future. With this, the 11 regional associations of Gallo Nero (San Casciano, Montefioralle, Panzano, San Donato in Poggio, Castellina, Vagliagli, Greve, Lamole, Radda, Gaiole, Castelnuovo Berardenga) emphasise the multifaceted ageing potential of the grape variety even more. For the remaining ten percent of the blend, the winegrowers are then only allowed to process indigenous grape varieties such as Canaiolo, Colorino and Malvasia Nera. In order to maintain the traditional Tuscan wine style, the international grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot were also removed from the production rules of the Gran Selezione at the beginning of 2022.
Hot on the heels of Brunello
What certainly makes the heart of true Sangiovese freaks beat a little faster is that some producers, following the example of Brunello, specialise in single-varietal wines and like to extend the ageing period sometimes. So when you enjoy a Gran Selezione, you can expect unmistakable Sangiovese fruit complemented by tertiary aromas such as leather, vanilla and tobacco. The acidity and tannins typical of the variety show their particularly well-balanced side and the minimum alcohol content of 13.00% vol. is skilfully kept in check by a natural opulence.
In addition to the long maturation period, the Gran Selezione of Chianti Classico is also the first and so far only Italian red wine that, by law, must be produced from exclusively estate-grown grapes. Grape material from vineyards leased from the same winery from which the Gran Selezione is ultimately vinified and bottled is also permitted. Purchased grapes are strictly forbidden, as is the purchase and bottling of bulk wine - which in the past has greatly damaged the reputation of Chianti Classico due to often dubious qualities.
With the help of these strict production rules, a real quality revolution has been started in the vineyards between Florence and Siena. The Gran Selezione is a clearly defined top product that can compete with the quality level of Brunello produced further south. The red wine with the logo of the black rooster has long since earned its shiny new reputation and a place among the top Italian wines! SUPERIORE.DE
