Melgab International CC

The "Brunello di Montalcino" D.O.C.G.^? is made from a careful selection of Sangiovese Grosso grapes.

The colour is ruby-red tending to garnet. Forthcoming, complex^? nose^? with well defined hints of spices, cloves, prunes^?, eucalyptus, chocolates with cherries macerated in alcohol^?. The taste^? is fresh, fragrant, fruity^? and elegant, yet also robust and highly persistent. If well kept it lasts many years. It is suggested to open the bottle about two hours before sipping the wine.

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^?.

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.
