Gran Selezione

From a 7ha plot surrounding the tiny church it's named after, the barrique-aged San Marcellino incorporates 50-year-old Sangiovese with the rare Pugnitello grape. The saturated colour is matched by fruit depth. Cool, calm and collected, it unfolds with a vanilla-infused mix of cranberry, blackcurrant and lilac. Flush with dark cherry, the palate flows smoothly enfolded in grainy, grippy tannins. Tangy acidity forms the bridge. Intensely fresh with its signature purity and earthy, minerally underscore, it's engagingly drinkable now but with a decade’s worth of structure built in.
