Il Molino di Grace Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2021
Vintage Character
The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from Il Molino di Grace is a benchmark Sangiovese, crafted entirely from estate-grown grapes in the renowned Panzano subzone of Chianti Classico. The 2021 vintage in Tuscany is widely celebrated for its exceptional quality, with a warm, balanced growing season marked by sunny days and cool nights that fostered optimal ripeness while preserving vibrant acidity and aromatic complexity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded an impressive 93 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this Gran Selezione opens with expressive aromas of wild cherry, crushed violets, and baking spices, layered with subtle notes of leather and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is structured yet elegant, revealing juicy red berries, ripe plum, and hints of tobacco, all supported by refined tannins and lively acidity that drive a persistent, savory finish. This wine’s depth and finesse make it an ideal match for classic dishes such as grilled lamb chops with rosemary, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, or a creamy mushroom risotto, offering versatility across a range of refined Western cuisine.
Winery Background
Founded by Frank Grace in the 1990s, Il Molino di Grace is a leading advocate for traditional Chianti Classico values and sustainable viticulture. The estate’s vineyards, rooted in the stony galestro soils of Panzano, have been cultivated organically for decades, with a strong commitment to biodiversity and natural vineyard management. All grapes are hand-harvested and vinified with a philosophy of minimal intervention, allowing the unique character of Sangiovese and the terroir to shine through. Aging takes place in a combination of French and Slavonian oak, carefully selected to enhance complexity without overshadowing the fruit. Il Molino di Grace’s dedication to quality and authenticity has established its reputation for producing wines that are both classically structured and vibrantly expressive, capturing the essence of Chianti Classico in every bottle.
