CANDIALLE SANGIOVESE GRAN SELECTION PLI 2015

The Sangiovese Gran Selezione “PLI” 2015 from Candialle comes from the high terraces of Panzano’s iconic “Conca d’Oro”. Gran Selezione represents the highest tier of Chianti Classico, and this wine fully lives up to it.

The outstanding 2015 vintage delivers ripe fruit, depth and freshness. Expect black cherry, plum, violet, tobacco, Mediterranean herbs and chalky minerality. Silky tannins, powerful structure and a long, complex finish. A top tier Sangiovese, elegant, intense and beautifully mature.
