Founded in 1975 with what became the first single-vineyard “Cru” in Panzano. The winery is part of Italy’s first bio-district and a recognized DiversityArk company, Montefili gives more back to the land than it takes, ensuring every parcel expresses the unique character of its soils and the purity of Sangiovese.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"One of the hidden gems in Chianti Classico, Vecchie Terre di Montefili has long been familiar to insiders and _cognoscenti+, but it remains surprisingly less well known outside that circle. The rugged hillside property lies on the Panzano\/Montefioralle border. Winemaker Serena Gusmeri consistently turns out some of the most compelling wines in Chianti Classico. The wines undergo primary and secondary fermentation in stainless steel tanks in an ambient cellar with no temperature control. Gusmeri gives her top Gran Seleziones long aging of 28-30 months in 20HL casks. Readers who have not tasted these wines absolutely owe it to themselves to do so.\" - Antonio Galloni - Vinous Media\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vinous.com\/wines\/vecchie-terre-di-montefili-chianti-classico-gran-selezione\/2021\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 points Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is fabulous. Silky yet quite powerful, the 2021 Gran Selezione captures a striking middle ground in this range. Dark red-toned fruit, blood orange, crushed flowers and mint lend tons of aromatic nuance from start to finish. Next to the other Gran Seleziones, this bottling is just a bit lighter texturally, but that is really splitting hairs at this level. Most of this blend is from parcels on pietraforte. - By\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAntonio Galloni,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAugust 2026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wide Roots, LLC","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":48082562154659,"sku":null,"price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4104\/0803\/files\/Montefili_Gran-Selezione.png?v=1788476232","url":"https:\/\/cellar.com\/products\/montefili-chianti-classico-gran-selezione-2021-750ml","provider":"Cellar.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
