La Querce Seconda Description
The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione comes a small plot of Sangiovese vines that were planted by Niccolo’s mother in the early 1970s, just on the south side of the village of Romola. The fruit is carefully selected and undergoes natural fermentation in stainless steel tank before being gently pressed, and then moved to aged tonneau and a very large barrel known as a ‘botti grandi’ for 24 months. After this aging, the wine was bottled un-fined and unfiltered, and is a true, rustic, and remarkable example of what Chianti can be. Dark cherry, brambly blackberry, cedar and sandalwood, peach pit, and fresh turned soil shoot forth from the glass, breathing in the oxygen around it deeply so it may fill the void with its stunning aromas. On the palate, the texture is stunning, full of acid and fruit while wrapped with soft and scrumptious tannins that pleasantly fill every corner of the mouth. An assortment of perfectly ripe berries, cocao nib, a combination of dirt and stone, and old-school black licorice dance around the tongue, trading places, making room for other delicious flavors, and all coming together beautifully for a long finish. A stunning Chianti that should be enjoyed and contemplated.
