CHIANTI CLASSICO, ITALY

Chianti Classico Graz Selezione! 100 percent Sangiovese with 8 months in French oak and another 12 months in the bottle. Made by the DiBattista family and in particular winemaker Jacopo! (We love them!) We love what they say about Sei. “Sei is the number six in Italian and there were many instances of this number coinciding with the production of its Gran Selezione. The single-vineyard wine comes from a special selection of grapes in a vineyard area measuring 6.6 hectares with a density of 6,666 vines per hectare within our Vineyard Belvedere. The tonneaux barrels we predominantly use hold 666 bottles of wine and our lovely Laura (the mother) was born in 6/6/46.”

Food Pairings: Salami, pasta with ragout, roasted vegetables and grilled beef.
