Territory and wine style

This Chianti Classico Gran Selezione comes from the Le Prese vineyard of the Le Macìe estate, in the heart of the Chianti Classico area. The blend consists of Sangiovese 100%, the symbolic grape of Tuscany and a natural interpreter of wines with great finesse and evolutionary capacity. The long maceration, malolactic fermentation in cement, and aging in small French oak barrels contribute to defining a rich, harmonious style that is destined to develop well over time. The bottle aging completes a growth process that gives the wine balance and complexity.
