Castello di Gabbiano’s 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva is perhaps a bit more enjoyable than the current, pricier Gran Selezione (2018). This is a good food wine which, while retaining the rusty tannins of the Sangiovese in the finish, displays enough fresh blackberry flavors to be almost on the border of exuberant fruitiness, not common in most Chianti Classico, and a plus here.
