Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 1,5 l Magnum DOCG - Casaloste

The Casaloste Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 1.5 l Magnum is a first-class organic red wine. It presents a wonderfully dense, ruby red color. The rim also shows a color transition to garnet red. If you give it a little air in the wine glass by swirling it, this red wine reveals a high density and fullness, which can be seen in clear stained glass windows at the edge of the glass. In the glass, this red wine from Casaloste offers aromas of sour cherries, elderberries and violets, complemented by toasted wood. The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 1.5 l Magnum from Casaloste is a good choice for all connoisseurs who like it dry. However, it is never austere or brittle, as you would naturally expect from a wine from the Icon wine segment. The texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully velvety on the palate. Thanks to the moderate fruit acidity, the Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 1.5 l Magnum flatters the palate with a soft feel without lacking any juicy liveliness. On the finish, this mature red wine from the Tuscan wine-growing region impresses with its considerable length. Once again, there are hints of sour cherry and violets.
