On the palate, this wine has excellent structure, with perfectly balanced tannins and a lingering finish.

Gagliole Chianti Classico Riserva is a label of absolute quality, which can already be appreciated now, but which also has the ability to mature for the next few years.

Gagliole has its roots in the history of Castellina in Chianti, Tuscany. A place so perfect that in 994 A.D., it served as a token of a king’s love for his queen. Ancient terraced vineyards tell the story of this carefully preserved landscape. In 1990, Thomas and Monika Baer acquired the Gagliole winery to breathe new life into this unique piece of land with its centuries-old tradition of producing wine and olive oil.

In 2011, the Baer family purchased the “La Valletta” winery in the Conca d’Oro region of Panzano in Chianti, with the aim of enhancing the quality of their red wines (Rubiolo, Gagliole, Valletta, and Pecchia). The excellent combination of soil and climate in the Chianti Classico region produces splendid wines that reflect the local terroir. Vineyard care is of the utmost importance at Gagliole. It is essential to cultivate the vines and the soil as meticulously as possible and in accordance with established organic guidelines. The winery is characterized by a balance between traditional and modern techniques that allow the character of the wines to shine through. Gagliole is a gem in the heart of Chianti Classico.
