- Rubiolo Chianti Classico - 2012

Rubiolo Chianti Classico 2012

Gagliole's 2012 Chianti Classico is striking. Texture reigns supreme in a super-expressive Chianti that hits all the right notes. Sweet flora nuances meld into red cherry, mint, spice and rose petal. The tannins are a bit firm, but then again, the 2012 was bottled a day before this tasting. The 2012 is a wine built on textural elegance and depth.
