Gran Selezione

Visiting Il Palazzino’s rustic, cluttered tasting room is like walking back in time. As for the wines, they are non-conformist and a bit edgy, but full of soul – above all, the Grosso Sanese bottling. This 100% Sangiovese began life as a Vino da Tavola in the 1980s before joining the ranks of the DOCG in 1996, and finally became a Gran Selezione with the 2015 vintage. The current release, 2016, features a bouquet of leather, incense, mint tea and wild game; decidedly tertiary but by no means tired. The palate is equally savoury and earthy, as forest undergrowth and bitter roots permeate dark black currants. Fully charged with waves of firm tannins, this demands a rare steak.
