This mixed pack features three exceptional expressions of Sangiovese from Villa a Sesta, one of Tuscany's premium producers in the Chianti Classico DOCG appellation.

2019 Villa a Sesta Il Palei Chianti Classico DOCG x1

This is a classic expression of Chianti made from 100% Sangiovese grapes, with 30% matured in barrique for 18 months. Deep ruby red in colour with violet reflections, this wine carries an intense aroma, rich in fruity aromas of cherry and blackberry. Excellent structure with refined tannins, this wine will match perfectly with aged cheeses, pasta with game, grilled meats or hearty braised stews.

2019 Villa a Sesta Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG x1
This is a stunning Chianti Classico, comprising 92% Sangiovese and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. The qualification of Riserva means that the grapes need to have been matured for at least 24 months prior to release. Villa a Sesta take this up a level by maturing the grapes for 30 months in barriques, with an additional 18 months in the bottle prior to release. The result is a mature and refined wine. Ruby red in the glass, it offers enticing aromas of cherry, violet, tobacco, vanilla and dark chocolate. The nose is fruity, mineral and spiced, boasting a wealth of flavour, softness and elegance with every sip.

2018 Villa a Sesta Sorleone Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG x1
In order to carve out a special niche for the highest quality Chianti, the new category of Gran Selezione was unveiled in 2014. To meet this highest standard in the region, the wines must be made only with estate-grown fruit (at least 80% Sangiovese) and aged for at least 30 months. Gran Selezione wines are noticeably superior in terms of the finesse, structure and complexity that they offer, rivalling some of their Super Tuscan counterparts. Once bottled, they sit for another year prior to release into the market.

The colour of the wine is an intense ruby red. Generous floral aromas entice from the glass, and the flavour profile is comprised of cherry, dried fruit and herbal notes as well as cinnamon and vanilla. This wine has excellent structure, with a long and elegant finish. The 'Sorleone' makes an ideal match for cured meats, aged cheeses, game and stews.
