Gran Selezione

Made from 100% Sangiovese, this wine is a selection of the best grapes from our Cavarchione vineyard, located near the village of Vertine in Gaiole in Chianti. The vineyard was planted between 2009 and 2010 on stony soil rich with marl limestone and a prevalence of Galestro, at an altitude of 440 meters above sea level.

This Gran Selezione represents a single-vineyard wine, highlighting the unique zonal differences of Chianti Classico and offering a map of the various expressions of Sangiovese. Harvested first among our three Gran Seleziones, usually in late September, it’s a wine that expresses the full power and complexity of its unique territory.

On the nose, it presents a seductive and profound bouquet with notes of ripe cherry, balsamic hints of mint, and ethereal touches of dried flowers. The palate is generous and incredibly soft, with a rich, sensual juiciness that's the result of a perfect balance between the fruit and its tannic structure.

From the producer

Istine

A Family Story

The story of Istine is a blend of tradition and entrepreneurial spirit. Its roots lie in the Fronti family's passion for the land.

It all began in 1959 when Bruno Fronti founded a company providing agricultural services. After years of experience in the winemaking world, the family decided to cultivate their own vineyards. In 1982, the first plots of land were acquired, and today the winery manages about 20 hectares, spread across Radda in Chianti and Gaiole in Chianti. This "mosaic" style of cultivation, with separate parcels, gives each plot of land its own unique identity.

For a long time, the grapes were sold to other wineries, but the desire to tell their own story led to a change. With the 2009 vintage, the winery bottled its first wine, marking the beginning of a new era with its own label.
