Gagliole is a small gem that captures all of Tuscany’s beauty. Judiciously cultivated and groomed, small tracts of land created elegant geometric figures on either side of the impenetrable hills. Here, at 1,640 feet above sea level, vineyards of Sangiovese mature under the rays of the sun thanks to splendid exposure to the south-southwest. The age of the vines (3-30 years) is a testament to the painstaking process of reintegration that has taken place here.
Gagliole's Rosso Colli della Toscana Centrale contains 100% Sangiovese grapes.
Aged for a minimum of 12 months in French oak barrels, 30% new and later 10 month in french oak botti of 12HL followed by elevage in cement for 3 months.
"The 2021 Gagliole is 100% Sangiovese from the estate’s vineyards in Panzano’s famed Conca d’Oro. Rich, powerful and explosive, the 2021 caputres all the natural radiance of this sector in Chianti Classico. Sumptuos red cherry fruit, blood orange, spice, menthol and rose petal build as this luscious, racy Sangiovese shows off all it has to offer" - 95 points, Antonio Galloni Vinous
"Made with organic Sangiovese grapes grown in Panzano on a mix of pietraforte soils and clay, the Gagliole 2021 Gagliole shows perfumed intensity with a combination of cherry, forest berry and wild violet or mountain flower. There is an earthy component that is very clean in nature and recalls garden soil with fresh organic matter. That note transforms into a pristine mineral note of crushed rock as the wine opens carefully in the glass. This IGT red offers a lot of character and is one of my favorite samples in this group of new releases from Gagliole. Production is 13,000 bottles" - 96 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"Seductive, refined and well composed, with aromas of cherries, cassis, dried herbs, stones and baking spices. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins. Velvety texture with elegance and refinement. Highly seductive, with a caressing stream of berries and a lift of spices bringing vitality and energy in the long, flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." - 95 points, James Suckling
