Additional information

Weight	1.3 kg
Winery	Il Molino di Grace.
Growing region	Chianti.
Typology	IGT
Grape variety	Sangiovese, Colorino, Canaiolo nero.
Maturation	Following a thorough quality control of the grapes, a 20-day maceration takes place at controlled temperatures between 28 and 30°C. During this time, gentle extraction and regular pumping over ensure that color, aromas and tannins are optimally extracted from the grape skins. After maceration, the wine matures for 12 months in new French barriques and tonneaux. This careful maturation gives the wine a distinctive structure, fine roasted aromas and a remarkably high quality. This process represents a significant innovation in the wine's aging process and contributes significantly to its complexity and excellence.
Vintage	2018
Color	Deep dark red color.
Scent	Even as you bring the glass to your nose, an inviting aroma unfolds, reminiscent of juicy dark cherries freshly picked from the tree. The sweetness of the cherries mingles with the subtle aromas of lightly sun-dried tomatoes, adding an earthy and slightly savory note. In the background, spicy nuances gradually emerge, reminiscent of freshly ground black pepper, a hint of tobacco, and perhaps even a touch of subtly roasted coriander seeds. These spicy aspects give the bouquet a fascinating depth and layers of complexity that you'll want to sniff again and again. As the scent continues to develop, it also reveals a slight trace of fine wood, perhaps a delicate hint of cedar or even a hint of sandalwood, which harmoniously rounds off the aromatic profile and brings with it an inviting warmth.
Taste	On the palate, the wine unfolds with a full-bodied character, its structure supported by a dense tannic framework that lends it a remarkable presence and complexity. From the very first sip, it reveals an intense bouquet of ripe, dark berries – blackberries, black currants, and perhaps a hint of plum. These fruity notes give the wine a profound richness and round out its sensual appearance. As the tasting progresses, the wine develops considerable drive, an expressiveness that is further enhanced by the dense tannins. These structural elements create a solid foundation that the wine maintains throughout. The finish is marked by a certain degree of rawness – a wildness that is not perceived as disruptive but rather underscores its authenticity and vibrancy. It indicates that the wine still possesses youthful traits and could potentially benefit from further aging. Overall, the wine can be described as powerful and expressive, with a richness and depth that make it an experience for the palate.
Serving suggestion	This outstanding wine pairs exquisitely with classic, robust dishes. With Cinghiale alla cacciatore – wild boar prepared in the hunter's style – the wine complements the earthy aromas with its rich notes of dark cherry and tomato undertones perfectly, leading to a full, sensual taste experience. With Tuscan sausage, the wine's spice aromas unfold, excellently highlighting the spiciness and intensity of the sausage. Each slice is elevated to a new level of flavor by the velvety wine. Last but not least, it pairs wonderfully with Tuscan cheeses such as Pecorino or Taleggio. The salty and creamy texture of these cheeses is perfectly rounded out by the wine's velvety and intense aromas, creating a harmonious flavor composition. This wine elevates culinary experiences to a higher level, creating an unparalleled balance between food and drink.

Description

Gratius Tuscany IGT

Gratius is an outstanding Supertuscan made from a harmonious blend of Sangiovese, Colorino and Canaiolo Nero. The wine is characterized by its deep dark red color and complex aromas. After a careful 20-day maceration at controlled temperatures, it matures for 12 months in new French barriques and tonneaux, which gives it a distinctive structure and fine roasted aromas. The inviting aroma is reminiscent of juicy cherries, complemented by earthy notes of sun-dried tomatoes and spicy nuances of black pepper and tobacco. On the palate, Gratius develops a full-bodied presence with intense berry fruit and dense tannins. It harmonizes perfectly with strong dishes such as wild boar, Tuscan sausage and mature cheese, and offers an unforgettable taste experience. Served at 18°C, it can be kept for up to 10 years and is powerful with impressive depth.

The main aim of the winery is to produce elegant wines that reflect the terroir. Particular attention is paid to the characteristic features of Chianti Classico and the Sangiovese grape, with wooden barrels being used specifically for ageing. The winery has been cultivated according to organic principles since 2014.
