Description

Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG “Zac” is 100% Sangiovese from the Gugliaie vineyard (2.5 ha). It is dedicated to Anna Corsini, the sister of Prince Tommaso and it represents the new challenges of the winery.
The first vintage was produced in 2008 (1,800 bottles) whet it was an IGT Toscana Sangiovese. In 2016 this wine became a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione red wine.

Winemaking and Aging

Winemaking

After destemming, the grapes are left whole and transported without the use of pumps. Spontaneous fermentation takes place for about 15 days in open, truncated-conical stainless steel tanks with an automatic punch-down system. Post-fermentation maceration on the skins lasts for 6 days.

Aging

24 months in barriques and 500 and 700 liter tonneaux, mostly used, 7 months in concrete vats, and at least 6 months in the bottle.

Tasting Notes

Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Zac is the maximum expression of the purity and typicity of Sangiovese from the San Casciano vineyards. Of an attractively bright, transparent ruby color, it reveals intense aromas of earth, dried leaves, violets, cherries, mace, with a citrusy and minty whif further broadening the profile. The enjoyment of the sip of this Gran Selezione is ensured by its usual framework of freshness while its captivating charme derives from the general sense of composure and the complexity of flavors throughout the impressively long persistence. Bonus: Longevity
