The 2016 Pecchia is one of the best wines I have ever tasted from Gagliole, maybe the best. It possesses tremendous intensity in its aromatics and flavors, yet also remains incredibly refined. Black cherry, plum, leather, licorice and spice all build effortlessly. The 2016 spent 18 months in small French oak followed by a few months in stainless steel. ... More details

Rated 96 by Wine Advocate
This wine was first produced in 1996 and represents a selection of organic Sangiovese from a high-elevation site (at around 500 meters above sea level) characterized by labor-intensive Pietraforte and sandstone soils that are only found on the upper ridges of Panzano. Fruit has been drawn from this site exclusively since 2013, and the wine will become a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione soon (although it was not produced in 2017). Fruit for the Gagliole 2016 Pecchia is fermented in barrique and aged for 18 months (in both second-use barrel and some stainless steel). It also rests in glass for two years. This is a gorgeous and extremely elegant wine, with a firm backbone and delicate layers of fruit and spice. A salty mineral note underlines the wine's freshness and brightness. The name Pecchia comes from honeybees that "poke" the berries looking for sugar. I think we can expect this wine to get even better now that the new winery is up and running.

A linear and tight red with black cherries and berries, as well as cedar and walnut undertones. Full-bodied with juicy fruit and a delicious, creamy finish. From a single vineyard in Castellina in Chanti. Pure Sangiovese. Aged three years in bottle before release. Drink or hold.

Region: Tuscany

The beautiful region of Tuscany has been associated with wine production for almost three thousand years, and as such is one of the oldest and most highly respected wine producing regions in the world. The hot, sunny climate supports quite a wide range of grapes, but the grape varietals most widely grown across this large region are Sangiovese and Vernaccia, both of which are used in the production of Tuscany's most distinctive red and white wines. Cabernet Sauvignon and other imported grape varietals have also flourished there for over two hundred years, but it wasn't until the 1970's and the rise of the 'Super Tuscans' that they were widely used, when the fine wineries of the region began experimenting with Bordeaux style red wines to great effect.

Country: Italy

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
