GaglioleGallule Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2022

Gallule is the estate's old name. The Sangiovese grows on old terraces in Castellina in Chianti, held up by dry stone walls, and ends up in a Gran Selezione, the top tier of Chianti Classico.

Pour a glass and you'll see a garnet red. The nose goes to ripe cherry and a touch of spice. In the mouth it is deep, with a dry grip like black tea, and the flavour stays a good while after you swallow.

Serve it at 16-18°C, and open the bottle an hour ahead if you can. Try it with Bistecca alla Fiorentina, beef tagliata or aged Parmesan. One for a long table and no rush.
