Today’s Castello di Gabbiano 2009 Chianti Classico Riserva will whisk you away to the Italian countryside after just one sip.

The complex and layered notes of lush red fruit, sweet earth, and smoky dark spice paint a perfect picture of the terroir that sourced this wine. This wine comes from one of Italy’s most storied wine producers, with nearly a thousand years of continuous wine production. This history shines through in the wine, as only a deep understanding of the vineyards and winemaking process can lead to such an outstanding final product. Both Wine Spectator and James Suckling were so impressed that they awarded this outstanding Chianti 92 points.

Agent Greco has been our in-house Italian wine aficionado lately, and this is the wine he can’t stop talking about.
