Gran Selezione

Dating back to 1865, the 30ha property is now run by fifth-generation brothers Tommaso and Federico Marrocchesi Marzi. The 7ha Capannino vineyard is located on southwest-facing slopes of clay schist. Made in selected vintages, this is fermented in cement tanks for about 32 days and then aged for 24 months partly in cement and in French and Slavonian oak barrels, then spending a further six months in bottle.
Aldo Fiordelli: Restrained, fresh pomegranate fruit with slightly nutty character, earthy-strawberry depth and minerality. Bright acidity and savoury character, firm and chalky, with natural and integrated freshness.
Andrew Jefford: A gorgeously teased, poised aromatic ripeness here: subtle incense spice just hidden behind the refined, perfumed plums; a hint of orange peel. Shapely, fresh, vivid and vigorous: super purity, admirable finesse.
Monty Waldin: Nose-tingling peppery notes; the fruit on the palate is slightly faded already, although the wine is by no means drying out.
