The Gran Selezione is the highest expression of the Chianti Classico DOCG. For some years the producers have decided to undertake a path dedicated to quality and have introduced the wording Gran Selezione in the disciplinary. It represents a typology of Chianti Classico born from grapes selected from the best vineyards of the company and an ageing of at least 30 months. The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Badia a Passignano di Antinori is one of the greatest expressions of Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. It comes from Sangiovese grapes harvested by hand in early October. Fermentation in steel for 10 days, maceration for as many days and then ageing in barriques for about 12 months and the rest in the bottle.
