Welcome back to our lively wine series! After diving into the elegance of Chianti Classico Annata and its refined sibling, Chianti Classico Riserva, it’s time to introduce the free spirit of our family: our Gagliole IGT!
The Gagliole IGT is our flagship wine, a pure Sangiovese that comes from the finest parcels in the heart of Panzano in Chianti, within the iconic Conca d’Oro. This wine stands out for its unique balance of power and finesse, a true expression of the Panzano terroir.
The grapes for the Gagliole IGT are harvested at full maturity, after a meticulous selection of the best bunches. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in a combination of French oak truncated conical vats and stainless-steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in barriques (30% new oak), followed by 12 months in 12 hl oak casks and an additional 3 months in concrete tanks.
Gagliole IGT reveals a dense yet soft tannic structure, characteristic of the Panzano terroir. The nose opens with aromas of mountain herbs, ripe red berries, balsamic notes, and a refined minerality. On the palate, it offers medium to full body, vibrant graphite acidity, and a long, enveloping finish.
This wine is a perfect balance of precision and complexity, showcasing the true potential of Panzano. It is a wine with great ageing potential, evolving beautifully over time, and offering a delightful experience for those who appreciate life’s little adventures.
In conclusion: Gagliole IGT is not just a wine—it’s an experience. A celebration of passion, innovation, and the timeless elegance of Tuscan winemaking.
Salute!
