Chianti Wines

While in Chianti, we tasted some really good wines (surprise!)...two of my favorites that I am definitely going to buy now that I am back home are Volpaia and Castello di Gabbiano. We loved visiting both wineries and were lucky to have such gorgeous weather!

My favorite Volpaia wine was the 2007 Coltassala

My favorite Gabbiano is the 2007 Riserva...the wine maker told us to avoid most Chianti Classicos from 2002 and 2003...and that 2007 and 2006 are some of the best production years!
