Riecine Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Gittori DOCG 2021 750ml

Riecine Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Gittori 2021 is a prestigious single-vineyard expression of Sangiovese from Riecine's historic estate in Gaiole in Chianti, Tuscany.

Produced from the Vigna Gittori vineyard, this wine represents one of the estate's most refined expressions of Chianti Classico. The vineyard sits at high elevation on soils rich in limestone, contributing freshness, mineral character and structure to the wine.

The 2021 vintage combines the purity and aromatic elegance of Sangiovese with impressive concentration and depth. Red and dark berry fruit is layered with violet, Mediterranean herbs, earthy nuances and subtle spice. On the palate, vibrant acidity provides energy while fine, persistent tannins give the wine structure and excellent length.

Extended maturation allows the wine to develop complexity while preserving the freshness and precision of the fruit. The result is an elegant and age-worthy Chianti Classico with the structure required for serious cellaring.

The 750ml bottle is particularly suited to fine dining, premium Italian restaurants, collectors, special occasions and customers looking for a distinguished expression of Chianti Classico.
