Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 'Fonte alla Selva' 2021 (750 ml.) Banfi
The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 'Fonte alla Selva' by Banfi is a prestigious Chianti that is produced only with a small part of the grapes harvested from the vineyards of Fonte alla Selva. A new type of wine placed at the top of the quality pyramid of the Chianti Classico denomination. A wine with a complex aromatic profile and a pleasantly smooth structure. On the nose, it releases typical aromas of cherry, plum, and blackberry, accompanied by hints of licorice. The broad structure is well balanced by good acidity. Excellent finish.

THE COMPANY
Banfi was founded in 1978 thanks to the vision of Italian-American brothers John and Harry Mariani. From the beginning, the two brothers envisioned a large-scale project, integrating quality viticulture with a modern winery aimed at consistently maintaining a high quality level of the wines produced. Alongside the Mariani family was Ezio Rivella, one of the greatest Italian enologists, who immediately believed that due to the richness of the soil and the favorable microclimatic position, the acquired territories would have great development potential. During those years, brothers John and Harry also acquired the historic Piedmontese winery Bruzzone, active since 1860 and specialized in the production of sparkling wines, to make it the Piedmontese brand of the group, now Banfi Piemonte.
