Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2020
Badia a Passignano Gran Selezione is produced exclusively from the best Sangiovese grapes that come from the estate of the same name in the heart of Chianti Classico. The area has been known for its wine production since the turn of the millennium - that is, the previous one! The vineyards stretch over soil rich in limestone with an average amount at an altitude of 300 meters. Production takes place in the historic cellars of Badia di Passignano from the 10th century.
2020 in Chianti Classico began with a mild and dry winter, and only in the last part of March was the winter characterized by a short cold period. The climatic conditions favored early budding in the vines. The relatively rainy and rather cool spring was preceded by a warm summer with a lot of rainfall, which allowed the bunches to grow and ripen optimally. The month of September, when the harvest began, was characterized by light rainfall, which favored the ripening of the grapes. The harvest began in the last ten days of September and ended in the first days of October.
