Dievole Vigna di Sessina Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2018
£51.25
The wine
Dievole's flagship, a Gran Selezione from the single Vigna di Sessina vineyard, the top tier of Chianti Classico. Pure old-vine Sangiovese, organically farmed and given long ageing.
Aromas of black cherry, dried rose, leather, tobacco and spice. The palate is powerful yet elegant, with fine ripe tannins, layered savoury fruit and a long, mineral finish. A benchmark of the appellation.
A wine for roast game, beef or aged cheese. Decant well ahead and serve at cool room temperature.
The producer
Dievole
View all Dievole winesDievole is a historic estate in the heart of Chianti Classico, its roots reaching back over a thousand years to the hills near Siena. One of Tuscany's grandest and oldest properties, it combines deep heritage with a modern, organic outlook. Its name is woven into the story of the region.
Sangiovese is the soul of Dievole, grown on the galestro and clay soils of the Chianti Classico hills at altitude. The estate farms organically across a patchwork of distinct parcels, from young vines to prized single crus. A little Trebbiano rounds out the range with a fresh white.
In the cellar, the approach balances tradition with precision, ageing the reds in oak to build structure while preserving Sangiovese's bright, savoury fruit. The wines range from a joyful Chianti Classico to a profound Gran Selezione. Purity and place guide every decision.
From a fresh Trebbiano to the single-vineyard Vigna di Sessina, Dievole offers Chianti Classico at its most authentic. Elegant, savoury and food-friendly, these are wines that speak of Tuscany's storied hills.
