Volpaia "Coltassala" Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2018

On the nose, this wine displays intense aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and hints of vanilla, tobacco, and leather. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex with flavors of ripe red and black fruits, spices, and a touch of earthiness. The tannins are firm yet silky, and the finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant acidity that balances the wine perfectly.

This wine would pair well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and mature cheeses. It is best served slightly below room temperature, around 16-18°C (60-64°F).
