From Barone Ricasoli, Italy's oldest family-owned winery founded in 1141 in the Chianti Classico DOCG, the Ceni Primo Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2021 is a refined 100% Sangiovese sourced from the single-vineyard Ceni Primo in Gaiole in Chianti on limestone-rich alberese soils at 400 meters elevation, imparting intensity and elegance. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2021 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet vibrant fruit—undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with 14-16 days of maceration, followed by 24 months' aging in large Slavonian oak casks to enhance structure and purity. This limited-production (6,000 bottles) flagship emphasizes sustainable viticulture, yielding a ruby red wine with garnet edges and harmonious depth.

Tasting Notes An elegant, structured red with ripe red fruit and refined spice, reflecting Chianti Classico’s limestone terroir. The nose reveals intense red flowers, cherries, lemon rind, and hints of lime juice and ginger. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and graceful, with silky tannins, balanced acidity, and flavors of red berries, balsamic herbs, and mineral earthiness, leading to a long, smooth finish.

Awards and Accolades The 2021 Ceni Primo earned 94 points from James Suckling for its lively sensory intensity and pure synergy between fruit and acidity.

Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 45-60 minutes of decanting to unfold aromas. Ideal with grilled beef, roasted lamb, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now through 2035, developing greater leather and earthy nuances over time.
