Chianti Classico DOCG, Castello di Gabbiano, Italy

A very pretty deep red colour, this wine with full, balanced flavour truly shows its territory & ancient tradition.  Careful use of the oak (in barrel for 8-10 months) allows this wine to preserve the most natural characteristics of the sangiovese grape: fruitiness, freshness, tannin.  JS 92 points
