Gutsy & Dry.  Classic Chianti – Sangiovese (90%), but there is an added richness which comes from the 10% Merlot in the blend.


The 371 acres of Castello di Gabbiano propriety is composed by 2 different macro area : Gabbiano hill and Branca hill. 


The vintner says that the wines we obtain in Gabbiano hill are for long aging with a lot of character and minerality. Branca hill have a more fresh, deep and rich soil than Gabbiano. This soil are rich in organic matter , the rock are more Alberese than Galestro. Here the roots go deeper thanks to the kind of soil , and this give wines with more acidity , lower pH and with a very fresh aromatic profile. 


Roasted Meats and Baked desserts are ideal to go with it.
