    The Conca d'Oro – the golden basin. This is what the winegrowers of Panzano call the natural depression in the terrain south of Greve, where the sun arrives earlier and stays longer than elsewhere in Chianti Classico. The slope, the Galestro-Alberese soil, the air circulation between the hills: everything comes together to create a microclimate that gives the Sangiovese the depth and fruit ripeness that is exceptional elsewhere, year after year. Gagliole lies at the centre of it all – a small, carefully managed winery that has been showing what Panzano can achieve in this price range since the Riserva première in the 2018 vintage. 100% Sangiovese from vines over twenty years old, organically farmed, hand-picked, fermented in steel. What follows is a well thought-out ageing process: ten months in small used oak barrels, then five months in cement tanks – a combination that gives the wine structure without over-moulding it. Only 11,000 bottles.

    2021 was an exceptional year in Chianti Classico – depth, strength and balance in rare unity. Intense ruby red colour. Blackberry, blueberry, violet, a hint of graphite and white pepper on the nose. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, with dark fruit, polished tannins and a long, mineral final. A Chianti Classico Riserva that knows its place very well. SUPERIORE.DE

    "The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva is a super-expressive wine from Gagliole. Dried flowers, tobacco, cedar, incense and red cherry fruit are all nicely lifted. I find the 2021 Riserva quite open today. It has plenty of depth but is also one of the more accessible wines of the year." Vinous

    "This is toasty on the nose with red and dark berries and hints of cocoa and hazelnuts. Medium-bodied with polished tannins. Refined and pristine. Juicy and nicely filled with fruit, showing freshness and poise. Well made and really balanced." James Suckling

    "Here's a classic organic expression of Sangiovese from the sun-drenched basin of vineyards found in Panzano. The Gagliole 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva is a medium to full-bodied expression with plenty of beautiful dark fruit to behold. The excellent 2021 vintage produced wines of depth, power and concentration with the added bonus of balance. It is one of the best vintages we have seen in recent years." Wine Advocate
