Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2016 - Castello di Gabbiano
Chianti Classico Riserva is the most famous wine of Castello di Gabbiano and has already received numerous international awards. This red wine is made from Sangiovese (95%) and Merlot (5%) grapes.
In the glass a bright ruby red shines with cherry red highlights. The expressive bouquet reveals aromas of black cherries and strawberries, accompanied by notes of cedar wood and tobacco. The palate enjoys an elegant body with a firm tannin structure. This red wine is pleasantly fresh and the acidity is perfectly balanced. The finish offers a wonderful, pleasant length.
