Gran Selezione

Planted in 1958, Contessa Luisa is the only west-facing vineyard at the estate. It also has the most amount of clay and calcium carbonate of the three Gran Selezione sites. A bit muddled and reductive to begin, the nose progresses to pepper and smoke with sweet herb undertones. The palate is ripe and sumptuous, offering fleshy black cherry that you can sink your teeth into. Velvety textured tannins are firm in resolve and accentuated by a distinct chalky undertow. Juicy acidity keeps it all flowing, drawing out the finish.
