Castello di Gabbiano remains a work in progress. The best wines here show excellent purity of fruit, which makes me believe a higher overall level of quality is very much within reach.

Castello di Gabbiano is part of Treasury Wine Estates, owners of Beringer, Penfolds and a number of wineries throughout the world. The Gabbiano wines continue to improve, but there is still room to do more. In particular, I was surprised to see how warm the aging cellar was, especially considering 2013 has been a year of modest temperatures in Tuscany. The passive cellars of the past are simply no longer adequate for making top-notch wines today, a critique that is by means unique to Gabbiano, but rather one that could apply to any number of wineries in Chianti Classico, Tuscany and Italy.
