The label itself, with its vintage race car design, evokes a sense of history and adventure, making it a conversation piece as much as a delight to the palate.

This Gran Selezione is primarily crafted from Sangiovese grapes. On the nose, it unveils an enticing bouquet of ripe red cherries, plums, and a hint of wild berries, intertwined with subtle floral notes of violets and iris. With time in the glass, nuances of tobacco, leather, and earthy undertones emerge, adding complexity and depth to the aromatic profile.The wine is dry, with a well-structured body. The wine is full-bodied with firm tannins that provide structure and aging potential, which makes it a remarkable wine that can be aged over the years. These qualities are balanced by a lively acidity that enlivens the palate and leads to a long, satisfying finish. The blend of the wine is mainly Sangiovese, with a touch of complementary grapes, adding finesse and balance to the wine.

Villa Trasqua Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 1000 Miglia is an exceptional accompaniment to a wide array of culinary creations.

The wine's acidity also cuts through the richness of creamy pasta dishes, like pappardelle with mushrooms or lasagna Bolognese. For cheese lovers, this Chianti Classico pairs beautifully with aged Pecorino Toscano or Parmigiano-Reggiano.
