In vineyard and cellar
Madonnino Della Pieve Chianti Classico Gran Selection is born from Sangiovese grapes in purity, cultivated in the vineyard called Madonnino, which extends across the church of Santa Maria Novella in Castelvecchi. This Vineyard, among the oldest of Castelvecchi and recognised in the first land registry of Chianti Classico, offers exceptional bunches, which produce the extraordinary complexity of an unforgettable wine. The grapes are harvested through multiple collections at perfect maturity, the different portions are vinified separately and maceration lasts for 40 days. Madonnino Della Pieve is aged for 42 months, of which 24 in new french oak barrique. The ageing process goes on with the refinement in bottle for 10 months.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby red colour with precious maroon hues. The perfume is complex, with fruity notes that evolve into an interesting bouquet of spices, from vanilla to pepper. An expressive, complex and intriguing wine that shows an amazing balance, with a long and satisfying ending.
Pairings
Serving temperature 18°C. Wonderful to accompany dishes of red meat, such as rib eye steak, and game.
