  The Wine Advocte

  This wine sees all its fruit sourced from vineyards in Panzano in Chianti, and it was first produced in 2018. The organic Gagliole 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva comes from 16-year-old vines, and the harvest is fermented with ambient yeasts. The wine then ages in oak barrel (with 20% new oak) for a brief 12 months, followed by a few more months in cement. It is slow to open and reveals itself carefully, showing wild fruit, licorice, blue flower and crushed stone along the way. Panzano fruit always has a pretty level of sweet richness, and you get that here, followed by accessible tannins. This is a production of 9,054 bottles.

  James Suckling

  This is spiced and earthy with red and dark berries, dried citrus peel, cocoa and wet rocks. Medium- to full-bodied with firm tannins. Linear and velvety with juicy red fruit underneath. Vivid and bright. Flavorful finish with mineral undertones. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
