Description

Discover the essence of Tuscany in every sip of Tolaini Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2019 Vigna Montebello Sette. Hailing from the storied Chianti Classico region in Italy, this 100% Sangiovese gem emerges from the unique Montebello number 7 vineyard. Silty soils studded with stones shape its profound depth, yielding a wine that captures the rugged elegance of its terroir.

Pour it into your glass, and a deep ruby color greets you, promising intensity. The bouquet unfolds with vibrant layers—ripe cherries burst forth alongside smoky tobacco, supple leather, and whispers of licorice mingled with spice. It's an invitation to linger, each aroma drawing you deeper into Tuscany's heart.

On the tongue, fullness envelops you, bolstered by refined tannins that weave seamlessly with a vibrant fruit center. Fresh acidity keeps it poised and lively, leading to a lingering close that echoes the vineyard's singular voice. This is Sangiovese at its most expressive, structured yet graceful, ready to grace your table today while hinting at graceful transformations ahead.

Hand-harvested grapes, double-sorted for precision, ferment in stainless steel and French oak, enduring controlled temperatures, gentle remontage, and delestage over 20 days. Extended maceration and malolactic conversion in large oak casks refine its poise, resulting in a bottle of remarkable concentration.

Critics have taken note: Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awards 94 points, James Suckling 93, with Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Spectator, and Decanter at 92 each, plus Wine Enthusiast's 91. Such recognition underscores its stature among fine reds.

At 14.5% ABV and in a 750 ml bottle, it shines alongside roasted meats that yield to the knife, sharp aged cheeses, or robust pasta laden with sauce. Imagine it elevating a family feast or intimate dinner, where its complexity sparks conversation and satisfaction. Whether you're building a cellar or seeking an standout pour, this Tolaini expression delivers the authentic thrill of Chianti Classico—structured, soulful, and supremely drinkable.
