Score 92/100 · Drink 2021-2030, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Mar 2021

Of these new releases from Castello di Gabbiano, the 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Bellezza Cavaliere d'Oro is by far the most classic, focused and tight. The wine relies on characteristic Sangiovese aromas of cherry, wet earth, tobacco and blue flower to lure you in. On the palate, it shows tonic brightness and a firm, mid-weight style. This vintage offers both power and elegance to sample with an aged Tuscan cheese.

The 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Bellezza Cavaliere d'Oro captures all the best qualities of the Gabbiano house style. The 2016 is a flashy wine, but all the elements fall into place effortlessly. Super-ripe red cherry, sweet spice, rose petal and hard candy fill out the layers as the 2016 opens in the glass. There is plenty of immediacy here.

Black-cherry and fresh-mushroom aromas follow through to a medium body, with juicy fruit and hints of spice and mushrooms. Precise and very pretty. Drink now or hold.
