Wine-Searcher.com: in the article ‘Chianti’s Top Tier Grows Up’ wine writer W. Blake Gray says of the 2015 Castello di Gabbiano Cavaliere d’Oro Bellezza Chianti Classico Gran Selezione: “Nice characteristic Chianti Classico, with notes of dried cherries, a bit of tobacco and leather. This reminds me of a Riserva in that its tannins are more noticeable than many Gran Seleziones. The Gran Selezione category might be most useful for these large-company wines; this is a very characteristic Chianti Classico that I’d happily drink.”
