Istine Elle Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2022

Tuscany, ItalyAltitude and precision in viticulture and winemaking spell success for this Gran Selezione label, which opens with intense red cherry, sour plum, and dried rose, supported by notes of minerality, crushed stones, and savoury herbs. Fresh yet full flavoured, the acidity and fine, chalk dust tannins complete a long finish. Built for the long haul, this will age well into the 2030s. Elle is the pinnacle of the Istine range, sourced from the finest Radda parcels and crafted to reveal complexity and depth in every glass. Elegance is the aim over power.Tasted: 20 April 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
