Il Colle Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione

Sangiovese 100% – Azienda Agricola Il Colle

Experience the true essence of Chianti Classico in every glass

Made from 100% Sangiovese grapes, sourced from one hectare of old vineyard on the gentle hills of northern Chianti Classico, our wine is crafted with care and deep respect for tradition. At 330 meters above sea level, on soils rich in alberese, the Guyot-trained vines yield clusters of exceptional quality, hand-harvested in the first days of October.
