Brancaia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is savoury and complex, and gives the impression of being a mellow, matured wine, even while relatively young. It is fine and rounded in texture, with deep, woodsy flavours and beautiful balance. It could easily age for decades...however it is absolutely ready to enjoy straight away (give it an hour in a decanter to appreciate it at its best). This is a 100% Sangiovese, selected from a single vineyard site. The wine is not necessarily made every vintage, and the specific site may vary - the criteria are that this has to be the best-performing plot in a given year, from only the best years.

Winemaking
Grapes are received at the winery and, if necessary, selected at the sorting table. By gravity, they fall into conical-shaped temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Wild yeasts only. Cap is punched down with a "follatore".
Press Review
93/100 - The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is a youthful medium scarlet color and takes an earthier and spicier profile, with aromas of polished leather, quinine, peppercorn, baked cherry, and cedar. Full-bodied, with good freshness, it offers a polished feel in its velvety rich tannins, mineral undercurrents, and mouthwatering finish. It’s a robust style, but it keeps things well-managed and long on the palate. Drink 2025-2045.
Press Review
96/100 - Notes of ripe cherries and redcurrants with savory herbs, ground spices and crushed stones. Full and structured with dense and compact tannins that are ripe and well integrated into the wine. Freshened with a steady acidity that gives it crunchiness and highlights the red fruit. I like the texture and length of the wine. Drink or hold.
