Certified organic (QC). Lustrous mid to deep ruby. Exotic-spice notes mingle with minerally notes and savoury cherry fruit. Lively, concentrated cherry and raspberry fruit, that is super-elegant and supported by powdery tannins. Really distinctive and like a cool-climate wine. One of the most elegant and light-of-touch Chianti Classicos I have ever encountered. (WS)

The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Istine is laced with hints of lavender, mint, blue/purplish fruit and spice. This offers a striking interplay of Radda energy with a bit more mid-palate richness and overall textural intensity than the Casanova dell’Aia. This is such a vibrant, explosive wine.

The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Istine is redolent of sweet cherry, kirsch, mint, rose petal and orange peel. The aromatics alone are so enticing. This mid-weight, sensual Gran Selezione has a ton to offer. Readers will find a perfumed, beautifully lifted Chianti Classico endowed with tons of sheer character.
