Azienda Agricola Gagliole Pecchia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2018, 0,75 L

Indeed, amidst the renowned wine icons of Tuscany, a new generation of wines emerges steadily surpassing these cult classics in quality. Pecchia stands tall among these rising stars, a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione crafted from 100% Sangiovese that sets an unparalleled standard.

Exclusively available from Gagliole in exceptional vintages, Pecchia leaves an indelible mark on memory with its seductive and extraordinary allure.

The integral vinification process in barriques epitomises the meticulous craftsmanship behind this wine. Here, whole grapes ferment in barrique barrels with oversized, specially designed openings, intensifying the wine's character while achieving a harmonious balance where every nuance of the grape's flavor shines through.

In addition to its captivating style, Pecchia dazzles on its own. Deep and nearly opaque in the glass, it exudes a captivating bouquet of cherries, dark berries, intertwined with hints of vanilla and roasted notes.

On the palate, Pecchia delivers a compelling experience: juicy, with remarkably ripe yet finely woven tannins, layers of berry flavors, and a delightful interplay of sweetness and acidity. Its enduring finish leaves a lingering, sweet berry aftertaste, underscoring its magnificence. This is truly an exceptional wine, destined to evolve even further with time.

While accolades, whether 95, 96, or even 97 points, may be assigned to this wine, they pale in comparison to its profound impact. For those who have experienced Pecchia, its excellence speaks volumes beyond any numerical rating.
