Gran Selezione is made exclusively from a winery&#8217;s own grapes grown according to stricter regulations compared to regular Chianti Classico. Gran Selezione is granted to a Chianti Classico after it passes a suitability test conducted by authorised laboratories, and after it is approved by a special tasting committee.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chianti#:~:text=In%202014%2C%20a,special%20tasting%20committee.\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Smells of lush blackberry, plum, and cherry. The taste is vibrant and fruity with flavors of blackberry, cherry, plum, and strawberry on a lightly astringent full body.
