Castello di Gabbiano Chianti Classico Riserva 2015
Tuscany, ItalyCastello di Gabbiano was established in 1480 in the heart of Chianti Classico, and today is the third-largest estate in the appellation, following Castello di Brolio, and Antinori. This Riserva is sourced from the estate's oldest vineyards, and blends 5% merlot into the sangiovese. Aged predominantly in large oak casks (a small portion sees new French barriques), this is brooding with dark cherry, dark earth, tomato leaf, bitter chocolate, and saddle. Tannins are firm and slightly ragged, drawing this to a brown spiced finish. Best to cellar for a couple more years yet, or have with roast pork loin or boar now.Tasted: 30 October 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $24.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
