Castello di Gabbiano Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2021 Rated 92JS

James Suckling Review
Rated 92
A perfumed, vibrant wine with an almost mint-like whiff, this shows red cherries, strawberries, violets and ash. Light- to medium-bodied, it shines with fruit definition. Chalky tannins and crisp acidity. Drink or hold.
