Description
In the glass, the wine is a brilliant ruby red colour. It offers aromas of violet and red berries. On the palate, the wine has flavors of bright red cherry, notes of white pepper and nutmeg and a savory character that is classic Sangiovese. It has firm tannins and bright acidity. Enjoy this wine paired with Italian cheeses such as Pecorino with truffles, Provolone and Parmesan. Or, team it with Pasta and a simple tomato or meat sauce, Grilled steak,risotto with mushrooms or roasted pork prepared in thetuscan tradition (with garlic, herbs and fennel seeds).

The nose is primarily savory and slightly medicinal, but a hint of cherries and a splash of vanilla provides balance. Sweetness emerges on the palate, with strawberries and a bolder streak of cherries, while an undertone of astringent fruitiness maintains balance before a hot, acidic finish.

The 2020 Chianti Classico is a soft, fruity wine to drink now and over the next few years, while the flavors remain vibrant. Hints of tobacco, cedar and dried flowers lend complexity to this forward, supple offering from Castello di Gabbiano.

A deep but transparent red, the 2020 Chianti Classico is minty and ripe with aromas of cranberry, dusty earth, and red flowers. Bright and poppy up front on the palate, it turns to iron-rich earth tones, with ripe though present tannins and a clean finish. It is a charming and classically styled Chianti Classico to enjoy over the next few years.
