Castello di Gabbiano’s Chianti 2011 can be described as a
medium bodied tannin wine, a touch on the dry side, and lots of cherry flavor.
There is a little taste of earthiness but it mixes well. It is an Italian red
that is popular with pizza, beans and pasta. The wine is focused on the casual
drinker and prices for under $10 per bottle. The value is inherent in the
quality.
According to Wine Searcher it is the 2837th
popular wine. It is ranked at 80 out of
100 in quality. Most websites have
ranked the wine 4 out of 5 stars. Furthermore, Chianti is made of Sangiovese
grapes which creates a very dark wine and is commonly used in wines made in
Tuscany. It is considered an older variety grape with popular appeal both in
Italy and other places of the world.
The vineyards are created around the Castello di Gabbiano
estates which hosts a 12th century castle and grounds. It is
possible to visit and stay within the Castile. Wine tasting, dining, rooms, and tours appear
to be the attraction. You can look at
the pictures on their website and notice the pristine history that seems to exist
there. It might be a nice place to spend
a few days relaxing.
