Brancaia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione<\/strong> - a remarkable single-vineyard wine that embodies the excellence of our Sangiovese grapes and complements our range of Chianti Classico DOCG wines.<\/p>\n

Our Sangiovese grapes develop a truly unique authenticity and character through old vines, careful clone selection and organic farming methods. After aging for 18 months in French oak tonneaux and an additional 3 months in concrete tanks, the wine continues to age for at least 12 months in the bottle.<\/p>\n

The grapes for our Gran Selezione come exclusively from a single vineyard (we call it \"VIGNA 10\" or \"Block 10\") in the municipality of Castellina in Chianti, which was already recognized for its exceptional quality at the time of the estate's acquisition in 1981.<\/p>\n

In 1999, the vineyard was replanted with five of the best Sangiovese clones selected as part of the ambitious \"Chianti Classico 2000\" project\u2014a continuing research and experimentation initiative that began in the 1980s. Today, after two decades, we are proud to confirm the achievement of this exceptional quality.<\/p>\n

With a southeastern orientation and an elevation of 240 to 265 meters above sea level, the vineyard enjoys a clay-rich soil, abundant in Galestro\u2014a local clayey rock that provides a beautiful balance between intensity and the characteristic acidity of the world-class Sangiovese grapes.<\/p>\n

The Brancaia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione shows a great structure and refined elegance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>
