Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione Buiano 2021

From the hills of Castellina, a Sangiovese that tells of the most authentic Tuscany.Marchesi Antinori's Buiano is a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione that represents the finest expression of Sangiovese from the Buiano estate located in the commune of Castellina in Chianti. This wine was created as part of a project to enhance the different Additional Geographical Units (UGA) of Chianti Classico with Buiano standing out for its balance and elegance.

After destemming and soft crushing, the must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with prolonged maceration to extract colour and aroma. Subsequently, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels to soften its acidity.

Maturation takes place partly in barriques for about 12 months, a period that enriches the wine with complexity and structure. Finally, Buiano completes its ageing in the bottle, achieving a perfect balance of elegance and ageing potential.

This meticulous process gives Buiano great finesse and long longevity, making it an authentic expression of Chianti Classico.
