Villa Mangiacane Z District Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2018 (6 Bottle Case)
From the historic Villa Mangiacane estate in the heart of Chianti Classico, the Z District Gran Selezione 2018 is a flagship expression of Sangiovese. Gran Selezione sits at the very top of the Chianti hierarchy, drawn from the estate’s best parcels and aged to emphasise depth, elegance and longevity. This is a wine that captures both the heritage of Tuscany and the precision of modern winemaking.
6 * Villa Mangiacane Z District Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2018
Taste
A richly structured Chianti Classico with ripe cherry and blackberry fruit at its core. Notes of dried herbs, cedar and spice weave through the palate, supported by firm yet polished tannins. The 2018 shows freshness as well as generosity, with a long, savoury finish that speaks of its hillside vineyards. Built to evolve beautifully in bottle over the next decade.
Producer
Villa Mangiacane is a Renaissance estate steeped in history, originally constructed in the 15th century by the Machiavelli family and touched by Michelangelo’s architectural vision. Situated just 12km from Florence, the estate spans over 300 hectares, with 43 hectares dedicated to hand-harvested vineyards. Renowned for their artisanal, chemical-free production, Villa Mangiacane is a proud member of the Chianti Classico Consortium and pushes boundaries by remaining deeply committed to tradition while crafting internationally celebrated wines.
