Gagliole Rubiolo Chianti Classico 2022

While the big-name Gran Seleziones are busy demanding decades of cellar time and triple-digit prices, Gagliole’s Rubiolo Chianti Classico 2022 is over here over-delivering in the best way possible.

100% Sangiovese, sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Castellina and Panzano. The 2022 vintage was warm, but Gagliole’s organic farming and smart cellar work—using a mix of concrete tanks and large oak—preserved the nerve and freshness that define great Chianti Classico.

It’s transparent, terroir-driven, and honestly, just a lot of fun. It’s the kind of bottle you grab when you’re doing a Tuesday night pasta pomodoro but would be just as happy serving to your geekiest wine friends. It has that hallmark Radda-adjacent tension: ripe fruit balanced by high-altitude acidity.
