New since 2015, this extremely confident wine is made exclusively from fruit from the oldest terraces in Castellina. Pure Sangiovese and vinified in exactly the same way as the Gagliole. We think this is one of the very finest, most refined and nuanced wines from Chianti Classico with an unusually pure, varietal, finesse-rich aroma and flavour, a fabulous expression of classic Sangiovese in Chianti Classico. Barely 2,000 bottles of this wine are made and even then only in the great years! Since 2018, it has been launched as Gran Selezione
RP: “The organic Gagliole 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Gallule comes from a vineyard site in Castellina in Chianti with 20- to 50-year-old vines. Only 2,438 bottles were made. The Gallule shows additional textural heft and fruit weight, and structure too, with black fruit tones of plum and blackberry. Despite its bigger overall dimensions, there is a graceful side to the wine with rose, lilac and sweet potting soil. Ultimately, this vintage will be remembered for its concentration and power.” 96/100
