Swiss precision meets Tuscan passion: Monika and Thomas Bär-Bettschart have been realising their dream at the Antico Podere Gagliole in Castellina in Chianti since 1990. Rubiolo is the certified organic homage to over three decades of winegrowing in one of the most beautiful terroirs in Tuscany. Made from pure Sangiovese grapes from both the historic terraces around Castellina and the famous Conca d'Oro in Panzano, this wine epitomises the synthesis of two exceptional vineyards.

The grapes ripen on soils rich in galestro between 350 and 450 metres above sea level, facing south-west, where the centuries-old dry stone walls – uNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019 – between vines, olive trees and roses create a unique microclimate. After temperature-controlled fermentation with indigenous yeasts and 20 days of maceration, the wine matures for ten months, half in French barriques and half in concrete tanks, followed by three months of bottle ageing.

The result combines the mineral elegance of Castellina with the powerful fruit of Panzano: ruby red in colour with a brilliant core, the wine opens with aromas of violets, geraniums and red berries. On the palate, it displays a harmonious balance between juicy cranberry fruit and velvety tannins – a Chianti Classico of exceptional purity that reflects the Bär-Bettschart family's 30-year passion for Tuscany in the best possible way.

"A well-calibrated tannic register in an immediately evident, vital and fresh texture that leans on the richness of the fruit – a good companion at the table with friends. The winery, run by the third-generation Bär family, is certified organic, and they manage 22 hectares in three well suited areas of Chianti Classico, all on Pietraforte, an ancient calcareous sandstone rock."
