Product Description
A purple-shot, deep red ruby. An emphatic spice is the first to make itself felt, classic to the Bellavista vineyard, but superbly married with well-ripened wild cherry, redcurrant, black liquorice, mint, and tobacco leaf. Powerful and masculine in its expression, the contribution of its considerable extraction. Its harmony of components and sheer elegance make this wine an extraordinary example of a Super Chianti.
wine score
97 points Wine Advocate
"This wine is one of the true protagonists of the 2015 vintage. The 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista offers an unreal level of intensity and depth with profound darkness and perfectly integrated tannins versus acidity. This wine was not produced in 2014. This vintage only saw 4,200 bottles made. The wine pours forth with rich fruit that is tightly woven within the wine's generous texture. Spice, smoke and tobacco appear as brief afterthoughts. Despite the beauty of the bouquet, this wine is ultimately all about the finesse and the elegance of its mouthfeel and that subtle game it plays alternating between brawn and grace. Vigneto Bellavista is bellissimo."

Product details
Vinification:
The grapes selected for this cru were harvested on the following dates: Malvasia Nera, September 24th, and Sangiovese on October 27th. Fermentation was regular and, as usual, at controlled temperatures. The wine was pumped over the cap numerous times throughout the period of fermentation and maceration, which lasted 26 days. After the wine had been drained off, it went through malolactic fermentation in barriques.
