Wine: Castello di Gabbiano, a classic Chianti

At a recent iYellow Wine Group media event, I was able to sample eight incredible wines from famous Chianti winery, Gabbiano. One of the oldest vineyards in the region, Gabbiano epitomizes terroir.

The wines included:

Whilst all the wines we tasted were strong (although I didn’t really care for the white), my Top Three were without a doubt: Belleza (dry, with a bouquet of earthy manure, yum), Alleanza (bold like a Cali zin) & Solatio (at $16.95, a great entry to non-table reds).

You can presently buy the Chianti, Chianti Classico and the Pinot Grigio at the LCBO; others available by consignment only.
