2016 Isole e Olena Chianti Classico Gran Selezione
Tax included.
A superb vintage for Tuscany and a strikingly elegant expression from Isole e Olena. The 2016 Gran Selezione is finely etched, with lifted aromas of sour cherry, blood orange, wild herbs, and rose petals, underpinned by subtle notes of cedar and spice. The palate is taut yet refined - vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins give precision and drive to the ripe red fruit core. There's a quiet power here, with savoury depth and a long, mineral-inflected finish. A beautifully balanced wine that combines structure with grace; textbook Chianti Classico at its highest level.

Buying At Auction?
Your Questions, Answered
What do you need from me to get started?
We will need you to confirm that you are over 18 (for obvious reasons!) and to open an account by registering on the site. This will include provision of credit card details for any eventual purchases. You will also need to sign that you have read the terms and conditions.
How many wines are in each Lot?
You will see the quantity (number of bottles) stated above the price. Please note that the bid-price is per bottle so you will need to multiply the price by the number of bottles in the lot to calculate the total price of the lot.
Can I cancel my bid if I change my mind?
All bids are final - please think before you confirm your bid.
How much is the Buyers' Commission?
We have an extremely competitive buyers' commission of 16.5% (GST inclusive). This will be added to the final winning price of your Lot at the end of the auction.
What are your freight charges?
Please see our Delivery Policy for full details relating to freight.
Is there a Guarantee on my wine?
Under Australian law, consumer guarantees do not apply to goods purchased at auction - all such purchases are at the risk of the Buyer. We will always provide as much detail as we can as to the visual condition and provenance of each Lot, however this is done so as a guide rather than as a guarantee.
