Ruby red colour. An open and appealing bouquet, with aromas of dark berries, black cherries, plums and blood orange zest, while notes of dark chocolate, subtle vanilla and a little liquorice appear in the background. On the palate it is soft and creamy yet also bold. Fresh and juicy, with expressive body. The finish is wonderfully aromatic and lingering, boasting notes of vanilla, cocoa and coffee.

Details
Villa Cigliano is one of three new Chianti Classico Gran Selezione wines from Antinori, and was first released in spring 2025. The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione classification was introduced in 2014. Villa del Cigliano is situated in the hills of San Casciano, in the Province of Florence: a terroir that stands out thanks to the character of its hills, its countryside and its wines. The grapes for Villa Cigliano grow on calcareous soil at an altitude of 280 metres above sea level.
Recommendations
It pairs very well with braised meat and boldly flavoured sauces. Also a good accompaniment to game dishes of all kinds. Or you can simply enjoy it with a little Parmesan, olive oil and low-salt bread.
Vinification
Villa Cigliano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is produced from Sangiovese grapes that are harvested by hand. After careful destemming and crushing, primary fermentation occurred at 28°C in stainless steel tanks. Gentle maceration yielded intense aromas while maintaining the elegance of the tannins. The wine was matured for 14 months in French barriques and then in the bottle.
