    The grapes for this exceptional Chianti Classico come from vines growing on a south-westerly slope at an altitude of between 350 and 480 metres above sea level. The soil here is characterised by galestro and limestone. A rich, deep ruby colour with a velvety sheen. Layered, concentrated aromas of plum, black cherry, spices and menthol. Complex on the palate, with a multifaceted character and flavour profile that opens up gradually, revealing its full spectrum only to those with patience. A flagship wine of great depth, class and irresistible charm. SUPERIORE.DE

    "A rich, sparkling ruby-garnet colour. Opens with slightly smoky notes, rich hints of cedarwood, followed by plenty of blackberry and ripe dark cherry, with a hint of tobacco in the background. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, displaying plenty of juicy, pronounced fruit; it opens with fine-grained, robust tannins, developing a long finish with good structure." Falstaff

    "The rarest wine from this revered estate boasts exuberant perfumes of blackberry compote, dried mushrooms, menthol and a kiss of dark chocolate, the latter hinting at the Petit Verdot in the blend (around 8%). It combines the richness and creaminess you expect from top-notch Gran Selezione with mouthwatering acidity, giving excellent drinkability. Velvety tannins caress the exceptionally long liquorice and truffle finish." Decanter

    "The 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, essentially a selection of the finest barrels from Cepparello, is a magnificent wine. More than anything else, the 2015 vintage is remarkable given the challenges of a growing season in which rain during the harvest caused significant problems. Nevertheless, in 2015 Paolo De Marchi made the most of his vines' full potential and added a good proportion of Petit Verdot to the Sangiovese to create the Gran Selezione. Dense, powerful and beautifully structured, underpinned by intense, salty minerality. The 2015 has a bright future ahead of it." Vinous
