Nittardi Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2020 DOCG Organic

Nittardi Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2020 DOCG Organic

Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2020 is a flagship Nittardi wine from the Vigna Alta vineyard. The vines grow on a south-facing hill at around 500 metres among Alberese limestone and Galestro shale. The 2020 vintage marks the beginning of this distinct Gran Selezione line.

Taste and character

Intense dark red. Aromas of blueberry, dark cherry, ripe blackberry, Mediterranean herbs and spice. Elegant and fresh on the palate, with fine-grained tannins, pronounced structure and a long finish.

100% Sangiovese – winemaking and ageing

Unlike the Riserva Selezionata, the 2020 Gran Selezione is made exclusively from Sangiovese. According to the technical sheet, it aged for 24 months in 500-litre Austrian and French oak barrels (around 20% new wood), followed by 6 months in concrete and 12 months in bottle.

Scores and food pairings

For the 2020 vintage, Nittardi reports 96 points from Wein.Plus, 95 from Decanter and 94 from Robert Parker. Pairs well with game, braised meats, beef and aged cheeses. Serve around 18 °C.
