Description
The Gagliole Chianti Classico is produced solely from Sangiovese grapes. It’s fermented in steel and aged 50% in French oak barriques and 50% in concrete. The Rubiolo is a soft, fruity, pleasant wine with sweet and harmonious tannins.
Gagliole has its roots in the history of Castellina in Chianti – Tuscany. A place so perfect that in 994 AD. it was a token of love from a king to his queen. Ancient terraced vineyards tell the story of this carefully preserved landscape. In 1990 Thomas and Monika Baer acquired the Gagliole winery to revive this unique piece of land with its centuries-old tradition of wine and olive oil production. In 2011 the Baer family bought the “La Valletta” winery in the Conca d’Oro of Panzano in Chianti, with the aim of optimizing the quality of their red wines (Rubiolo, Gagliole, Valletta and Pecchia). The excellent combination of soil and climate in the Chianti Classico area produces beautiful wines that reflect the local terroir. The care of the vineyard is of the utmost importance in Gagliole. It is essential to cultivate the vine and the soil as carefully as possible and according to established biological guidelines. The cellar is characterized by a balance between ancient and modern techniques that let the character of the wines shine through. Gagliole is a jewel in the heart of the Chianti Classico.
