Pale yellow white in color. Floral, citrus notes in nose. Crisp minerality, a touch of spritz, citrus, vanilla and slight peach flavor, creamy lemon and lime peel finish and aftertaste, some skin astringency on center of tongue, no real bitterness. Decent food wine, good varietal character — 7 years ago
Lychee, blood orange, candies citrus, almonds, candle wax, carnations. Rounded acidity, juicy texture, medium bodied, grapefruit rind-tart citrus, salty finish. Interesting oddity, might be the ultimate brunch wine. This rating is for the Riesling NOT Vermentino. — 7 years ago
Gagliole is an ancient property sitting at 1640 feet above seal level. HOwever, having undergone a vine reintegration process, the vines are no older than 30 years. State Archives in Siena mention the estate as far back as 994 A.D. The Sangiovese vines enjoy exposure to the south-southwest, nestled between the gentle Chianti hills. A blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% merlot, it is an enjoyable and easy going red. Vibrant cherry, plum, spice and a hint of leather together with well balanced tannins give the expected crisp Chianti Classico flavours sought by many. Approachable now or within the next 3-5 years. Great value!

Very different in a good way. Reddish orange color. Slightly cloudy. Very sharp nose of tart red fruit...lychee nut ??? cannot pin it down. Taste is clean, bright, slight tannic finish. — 3 years ago
2018. Great hazy, apple cidery, pet-nat Riesling. — 5 years ago
Fint vin med alla underbara champagne-drag. Knallpulver, nektar och mineralsälta. Perfekt balanserad munkänsla. Hade den varit lite längre i syran hade poäng blivit högre. Mycket stabil och prisvärd. — 8 years ago
Lively, citrus, brioche, touch of almond & creamy mousse — 8 years ago
Wow! Pinot Noir fermented in amphora, inspired by Elisabetta Foradori. Earthy, mineral, a little smoky. — 4 years ago
A pleasant surprise, albeit showing a hint of maturity on the palate.
Nose displays strawberries with a wisp of mushrooms. Palate is bold and vigorous. This all about energy power. Overall, excellent. I just caught this in its old man phase. Certainly, a producer to watch.
Mo wasn’t feeling it, but I have assumed editorial liberties (and it came from our cellar). — 5 years ago
