Gagliole Chianti Classico Riserva 2019

“Conca d’Oro”—the golden shell of Panzano. It’s arguably the most prestigious “cru” in Chianti Classico, and Gagliole is consistently one of its most elegant standard-bearers. The 2019 Riserva is a wine that captures the sheer energy of a classic Tuscan vintage. It’s not just about power here; it’s about that high-toned, vibrantly etched Sangiovese character that we look for in top-tier Riservas.

The 2019 growing season was nearly perfect—warm days and cool nights allowed for a slow, steady ripening. Gagliole managed to bottle that harmony. While many Riservas can feel “over-extracted” or weighed down by oak, this remains remarkably pure and transparent. It’s a wine that tells you exactly where it came from.
