90% Sangiovese
5% Canaiolo Black

Very bright, dark ruby color. Extroverted nose with lots of ripe chokecherries, licorice, earth, and fragrant wood smoke scents. Forceful, vibrant flavours: cherries, leather and stony minerals predominate. Bright acidity and lots of youthful tannin lend an attractive but still solid texture.

"La Selvanella" Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva

"La Selvanella" Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva

Description: Dry Red

Vintages Available: 2000 2001

Country: Italy

Region: Tuscany

Producer:  Melini

100% Sangiovese Grosso

Chianti Classico Riserva La Selvanella has a clear, dark, ruby colour with garnet tints, a full, complex bouquet with strong notes of raspberry conserve and of irises and hints of vanilla, cinnamon and leather. The flavour is full, warm and savoury with an elegant and lingering aftertaste of woodland undergrowth and toasted almonds. It can be kept longer than usual, and improves with time.

2005 Gambero Rosso on La Selvanella '00

The result is out of this world, and perhaps the best La Selvanella ever. The nose is complex, pervasive and elegant, its fruity notes mingling with very intense, unusual mineral and smoky sensations. The gutsy palate displays well-balanced acidity, sweet, tight-knit tannins that are never woody, and extraordinary length.

2005 + 2006 Gambero Rosso Guide | La Selvanella Chianti Classico '00+'01 rated 3 glasses

2006 Gambero Rosso on La Selvanella '01

The Chianti Classico La Selvanella '01 is quite simply masterful, enormously classy an exemplar of typicity. Fruit aromas mix with violets and tobacco before the rounded, gutsy, deliciously drinkable palate reveals supporting acidity that says "sangiovese" loud and clear. The other wines in the range are all well typed but seem to pale in comparison.
