The Riserva di Fizzano, the company's historic cru, already had the characteristics of the Grand Selection even before the new name was born as part of the "Chianti Classico Revolution" operation. And perhaps it was precisely these wines already present in the area, with their inimitable characteristics, that inspired the research and then the definition of a top in the qualitative pyramid of Chianti Classico where to place them.

The Riserva di Fizzano Gran Selezione is the expression of grapes from a single vineyard that extends for 35 hectares around the homonymous Relais owned by the Zingarelli family since 1984. The soil rich in sand and skeleton is perfect for enhancing the aromas of the Sangiovese, like its south-west exposure, is optimal for intercepting the sun and winds in the ideal measures to favor a slow and constant ripening of the grapes. To these gifts of nature has been added the company's ongoing commitment to improve agronomic management and its dialogue with the land.
From all these factors comes the Riserva di Fizzano Gran Selezione which, in particular from the 2011 vintage, stands out for its elegance, for its wide aromatic heritage and for a great and already confirmed ability to last, improving over time . From the 2015 vintage, to make the link with the territory even stronger, the Colorino joins the blend, replacing Merlot, each year in a variable proportion depending on the trend of the vintage.
