At Castello di Gabbiano, the philosophy is simple: quality begins in the vineyard. The estate’s terroir is a complex mosaic of clay, limestone, and stony soils, which provides a rich foundation for their signature Sangiovese grapes. By meticulously managing each vine—from soil analysis and clone selection to the use of single spurred cordon and Guyot training systems—the winery achieves perfectly uniform ripening. In the cellar, the winemaking team harmonizes tradition with innovation. This Chianti Classico Riserva is crafted from the finest estate fruit, fermented in small batches to preserve the unique character of each plot. The wine matures for ten months in a combination of large oak casks and small French oak barrels, followed by an additional year of bottle aging to reach peak elegance.
