Vinification:
The Gallule is a Chianti Classico Riserva. It is made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes from the ancient terraces of the Antico Podere Gagliole. The wine is aged for at least 18 months in French oak barriques. The wine is then aged in the bottle for 12 months.
Tasting note:
Gallule is a very harmonious and deep wine, rich and complex with a garnet red colour. Characteristics that only Sangiovese grapes from vines more than 30 years old can give it.
Tenuta Gagliole:
The uniquely beautiful Tenuta Gagliole is a real gem that combines all the beauty of Tuscany. The estate was first mentioned in 994 AD and is a rare example of the traditional cultivation of olive trees and vines on ancient terraces supported by dry stone walls. Exquisite wines such as Biancolo, Rubiolo, Balisca, Valletta, Gagliole, Gallule and Pecchia, which are among the very best in Tuscany, are produced here.
Thanks to the Italian-Swiss precision in the care of the vineyards and the use of state-of-the-art technology in the cellar, Gagliole wines have been achieving top ratings and much praise in the international press for years. The Tenuta Gagliole winery was purchased in 1990 by the Swiss Dr Thomas Bär and his wife Monika. It is located in the small town of Castellina in Chianti, the vineyards face south-west and are around 500 metres above sea level, providing ideal ripening conditions for the Sangiovese grapes.
Gagliole has also had vineyards in Panzano since 2011 and is therefore divided between the two villages. Of the estate's 30 hectares, eight hectares are planted with vines - and they are still being expanded. Giulio Carmassi is one of Italy's top oenologists. As cellar master and agronomist, he is jointly responsible for the high quality of the wines at the Gagliole winery.
