Medium-textured, predominantly calcareous marl breakdown of alberese and galestro strata, with abundant gravel-pebble mixture.

La Pieve Gran Selezione expresses the essence of San Felice&#8217;s Chianti Classico. The Sangiovese, harvested from the finest company vineyards and vinified with care, produces a wine that represents the highest expression of the terroir. This is in line with San Felice&#8217;s production philosophy, which has always sought to interpret the land through native grape varieties.

This is where tradition combines with advanced technology. The 18th century cellars, carved out of rugged limestone, are extensive. You’ll be fascinated by the rows of red stained oak barrels and halls of vast steel vats, temperature controlled for fermentation. You’ll see teams of experts tasting, blending, balancing to produce the finest Chianti Classico. Their passion created in 1968 the first Supertuscan, our renowned Vigorello.

Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2021

La Pieve

2021 vintage was characterized by regular seasonal conditions. Spring rains favored vegetative development and created water reserves to face the dry summer. After Easter, a brief drop in temperatures slowed the growth of the shoots in the cooler areas of Chianti Classico. There were no pressures from fungal diseases like powdery mildew and downy mildew. The summer, although dry, was mitigated by spring water reserves and did not experience excessive heat waves. From the end of August, high daytime temperatures were balanced by cool nights, promoting optimal grape ripening. Sangiovese harvest began around September 20, in line with previous vintages.
