This Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is born from aromatic grapes harvested in the Campolongo vineyards, which are spread across the historic terraces at 420 to 580 meters above sea level. The wine is made with the wisdom and experience of winemaking inherited by Ramole di Ramole. The Campolongo vineyards are one of Ramole di Ramole's best vineyards and the culmination of their passion. Intense, brilliant ruby red color. The gorgeous aromas of violets, red and black berries coexist attractively with spicy, concentrated aromas. The mouthfeel is powerful, strong, dynamic and elegant. The tannins are dense, with fine acidity and juicy fruitiness, and the fruit, spice and herb flavors linger on the finish. The wine's concentrated and rich flavor makes it a perfect match for rich soups, pasta with game meat in sauce, slow-cooked meat dishes and dishes with spices and herbs. It goes perfectly with aged cheese. This cantina is located on the hill of Ramole in the Greve in Chianti region. Ramole is the name of this land, as well as the name of the Sangiovese gene discovered here. Ramole di Ramole is a name given to the original Sangiovese. It is said that Brunello di Montalcino's Sangiovese originated from trees transplanted from Ramole. This land is well ventilated and dry, making it an ideal location. In addition, because it is on a slope, it drains well, and the refreshing, pleasant acidity is born from this environment. The cantina owns 47 hectares at an altitude of 350 to 600 meters. This area is the highest in Chianti Classico. Currently, it is said that the area of Lamore is moving to become a subzone of Chianti Classico, separated from Greve in Chianti, and to become "Lamore in Chianti". This shows that the unique terroir of Lamore gives Chianti Classico more individuality and diversity, and that it contains the qualities to produce great wine. The soil consists of three parcels, one with Galestro soil and two with clay, sand and stone soil. The average age of the vines is about 20 years. However, some of the vines are over 70 years old. The area is characterized by moderate precipitation in spring and autumn, cold winters and warm summers. This area has a large temperature difference due to the winds blowing in from the northern Apennines, so the grapes are rich in both sugar and polyphenols, and have a beautiful acidity and elegance. Enologo Andrea Daldin is a specialist who worked with his predecessor H. Pariani for about 20 years. He is from San Gimignano, and his father is a grape grower who makes Vernaccia. His five brothers are all still in the wine business, so they are truly a wine family. Since he helped his father with his work from an early age, wine work has become ingrained in him, and for him, this work is his calling.
