Here comes the new top Gran Selezione from San Felice: intense ruby red in colour, with broad and persistent aromas on the nose. Notes of violets and blackcurrants mingle with a sweet spiciness of tobacco and liquorice. Full-bodied, supple, well-structured wine, characterised by ripe and juicy tannins that harmonise with the acidic component. SUPERIORE.DE

"New Gran Selezione made from Sangiovese and rare indigenous grape varieties: Intriguing bouquet of cassis, herbs and liquorice; pithy on the palate, the acidity is crisp, lots of polish, plenty of body, the finish is pleasantly fruity yet with character. Can still mature a little." Vinum

"Dunkles Rubin im Zentrum mit ziegelroten Nuancen. Würzig und kraftvoll in der Nase nach Kirschwasser, Sternanis, Malz und Leder. Spannt sich mit viel Fruchtsüße weit über den Gaumen, getragen von animierender Säure, dann etwas weitmaschiges Tannin." Falstaff

"A concentrated red wine with intense flavours of cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, iron and wild herbs, which is also fluid, has light notes of new oak and ends with a salty finish." Wine Spectator

"Nutty notes on the nose combine with incense, grilled meat and cured leather. It is full and chewy, with fleshy dark fruits and assertive tannins. A tangle of dried herbs perfumes the finish. A fine balance of friendly charm and real character." Decanter

"The 2021 Gran Selezione La Pieve is a new wine in this range, replacing the Il Grigio Gran Selezione. It shows good energy and vigour, but is also still together in the bottle. Pomegranate, blood orange, spices and rose petals open up with a little persuasion. Clean mineral undertones prolong the finish. All it needs is time to develop better. It has a lot of potential." Vinous

"The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione La Pieve is a concentrated expression of Sangiovese with more pronounced oak tones of spice and sweet smoke. This lovely Tuscan red wine offers greater fruit richness and richness compared to the estate's Chianti Classico Borgo. This added intensity gives this wine the scope to be paired with grilled meats. The wine finishes with a sweetness that comes from both the oak and the ripeness of the fruit. This vintage offers remarkable balance and elegance." Wine Advocate

"This is a very attractive, quite elegant Chianti, polished and even on the palate. It offers notes of cherries, raspberries, orange peel, cured meat and toasted almonds. Medium to full-bodied with very fine, juicy and polished tannins." James Suckling
