This distinguished and structured red wine originates from the Castellina in Chianti sub-zone of the Chianti Classico DOCG in Tuscany. Fonte alla Selva is a specific estate owned by Castello Banfi, where the winery's philosophy focuses on highlighting the elegance of Sangiovese grown in shallow, sandy-clay soils. The "Gran Selezione" designation represents the highest tier of the Chianti Classico quality pyramid, requiring the wine to be produced exclusively from estate-grown grapes and aged for a minimum of 30 months before release.
Wine Description
The Banfi Fonte alla Selva Gran Selezione presents a deep ruby red colour with mauve undertones. The sensory profile is "composed and balanced," featuring an aromatic nose of red berries, spiced cherries, and plums, layered with sophisticated notes of dried herbs, bark, and dried mushrooms. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and lively, showcasing fine, well-integrated tannins and a distinct acidity that provides excellent structure. It is characterized by its "attractive and well-built" texture, leading to a long, focused, and flavorful finish marked by a sweet spiciness.
