50 year Anniversary
The Chianti Classico Riserva La Selvanella, produced from the homonymous
cru located in the northern sector of the UGA Radda, celebrates its fiftieth
harvest with the 2019 vintage.
The seasonal trend is reminiscent of that of the great vintages of the past
decades. The good water reserves accumulated during the spring period,
combined with a hot yet not too hot summer, ensured an excellent ripening
of the grapes.
The Chianti Classico Riserva La Selvanella has been the natural expression of
this unique cru since 1969. A place of extraordinary beauty that gives life to
timeless wine.
