Gran Selezione

In the UGA of Vagliagli, Vicoregio 36 began as an experimental site for 36 diverse biotypes of Sangiovese. It's the lowest of Mazzei’s three Gran Selezione, at 350 metres, and is also the densest and most vigorously tannic of the trio. Like the Castello di Fonterutoli bottling, this matures in French oak tonneaux, of which 50% is new, yet it wears its wood more overtly on its sleeve. Macerated cherry and black currants are saturated with vanilla, cinnamon and smoke. Wood gives an angular frame to enthusiastically extracted tannins, though these are filled out with lush, spicy fruit.
