Castelvecchi Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Madonnino della Pieve 2019

Castelvecchi Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Madonnino della Pieve 2019 is a compelling expression of pure Sangiovese from one of the oldest vineyards in Chianti. Produced only in the best vintages, it combines heritage, precision, and remarkable depth, making it a standout for lovers of serious Tuscan reds.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine is likely to show a deep ruby hue with garnet reflections, reflecting both its structure and youthful concentration. The nose should be layered and refined, with aromas of ripe cherry, dried rose, wild herbs, spice, and earthy undertones, all characteristic of well-grown Sangiovese from a historic site. On the palate, expect excellent complexity, with bright red fruit, savory herbal notes, firm but polished tannins, and the vibrant acidity that gives Chianti Classico its backbone. The finish should be long and nuanced, with the 2019 vintage offering strong aging potential for those who prefer to cellar their wines and watch them evolve over time.

Production
Madonnino della Pieve comes from the Madonnino vineyard in Castelvecchi, set in front of the Pieve di Santa Maria Novella, in a site considered among the oldest in Chianti. The vineyard’s character and exceptional grape quality are central to the wine’s identity, and the estate uses multiple picking passes when the vintage requires it to ensure optimal ripeness and balance. Made exclusively from Sangiovese and only in top years, the wine reflects careful vineyard management and a selection-driven approach to vinification.

Food & Serving
This Gran Selezione pairs beautifully with Tuscan cuisine and richly flavored dishes such as bistecca alla Fiorentina, slow-braised beef, game, roasted lamb, and aged pecorino. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for about 1 hour to allow the wine’s aromas and structure to open fully.
