This Gran Selezione is vinified in concrete vats to highlight its colour and depth of structure. Its refined profile is the result of careful ageing in \u003cstrong\u003eAustrian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by maturation in the bottle to perfect its harmony. Its pronounced tannic texture pairs ideally with game, pork and \u003cstrong\u003emature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the Vigna Istine in Radda in Chianti, located in one of the highest areas of the entire region. Situated at around five hundred and fifty metres above sea level, the vineyard benefits from cool exposures that favour a consistent ripening of the bunches. The steep soils, \u003cstrong\u003erich in stones\u003c\/strong\u003e and composed of marl limestones such as \u003cstrong\u003eAlberese and Galestro\u003c\/strong\u003e, are surrounded by dense oak forests. This ecosystem gives the Sangiovese a profound territorial identity, enhanced by organic-certified agronomic management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with the \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e of the bunches. Fermentation takes place in concrete vats at a controlled temperature to preserve the integrity of the aromatic profile. A \u003cstrong\u003esubmerged cap maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e of forty-five days allows for a fine and measured tannin extraction, followed by malolactic fermentation in the same containers. The wine then matures for fifteen months in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and completes its journey with a prolonged \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e, essential to define its optimal gustatory character.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1982, the Tuscan winery Istine achieves excellence with this \u003cstrong\u003eChianti Classico Gran Selezione\u003c\/strong\u003e, the result of the dedication of oenologist Angela Fronti. The grapes come from the Istine Vineyard in Radda in Chianti, planted in 2002 at an altitude between 480 and 550 metres, in one of the highest areas of the region. Thanks to soils rich in \u003cstrong\u003eAlberese and Galestro\u003c\/strong\u003e, this \u003cstrong\u003ecertified organic\u003c\/strong\u003e Sangiovese expresses extraordinary elegance. The 2022 vintage, awarded by Gambero Rosso, Decanter and Vinous, is confirmed as an authentic winemaking masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Istine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46043588788395,"sku":"59662","price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/istine-chianti-classico-radda-gran-selezione-vigna-istine-2022_59662_1_cfea0593-4e5e-49e3-ac94-cd7d414b945c.webp?v=1773800734","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-dk\/products\/istine-chianti-classico-radda-gran-selezione-vigna-istine-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
