| The Castello di Gabbiano estate is located in the heart of the famous Chianti Classico region of Tuscany, near the town of San Casciano between Florence and Sienna. The twelfth century castle sits on a hilltop overlooking the estate's modern winery, age-old olive groves and 64 hectares of rolling vineyards. The estate produces Chianti Classico and Supertuscan wines, together with its own olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Jovis winemaker Justin Bubb was winemaker at Gabbiano from 2004-2007 and continues as consultant winemaker for the estate. |

2006 Castello di Gabbiano Rose
100% Sangiovese
This estate-produced Rose from winemaker Justin Bubb is fantastic served icy cold with lunch or as a pre-dinner drink. Ruby blush in color, this wine has a lifted fragrant nose of light cherries and subtle spice. The palate shows juicy red berry fruits, with a
crisp, dry finish. It goes superbly with antipasto or Asian dishes like char
siew or barbequed pork ribs.
