An elegant and well-balanced, medium-bodied Chianti Classico Riserva with poise and finesse. Silky smooth on the palate with ripe black cherries, baking spices, tobacco leaf, tanned leather and smoky vanilla flavours on the palate.

Chianti Classico food pairings: roast beef, cheesy pizza, stuffed roasted turkey, pasta in tomato sauce.

Castello Di Gabbiano Riserva 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva is fragrant with smoky ripe cherry, fresh red and dark berries, earthy with smoky vanilla, leather and vanilla flavours silky on the palate. Nicely done and well-balanced. Enjoy now and for the next four years. Pair with a veal Porterhouse. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
