Chianti Classico DOCG - Castello di Gabbiano

The finesse-rich Chianti Classico DOCG from Castello di Gabbiano is made from Sangiovese (90%), Colorino (5%) and Merlot (5%).

This wine shines in a dazzling ruby red color in the glass. With aromas of blackberry and black cherry, this Italian red wine has fruity notes on the nose. The bouquet is complemented by floral nuances - especially violets. On the palate, this wine is elegant and fresh with beautiful hints of ripe red fruit. The tannins are wonderfully soft and wonderfully integrated into the good body. The finish convinces with a pleasant length.
