- barnesy - 08-10-2000 I bought a '97 bottle of Gabbiano Chianti Classico for 8 bucks. How is the quality on this wine and this vineyard? I am new to wines and know little about them and even less about Italian wines. Any information would be appreciated. Barnesy - Innkeeper - 08-11-2000 This is a good example of the "new" Chiantis. Enjoy it with your Italian pasta, veal, and even light beef dishes.

Definitely a great value, especially the 97'! - barnesy - 08-12-2000 I opened the chianti tonight. I made a ratatouille Lasagna that was great. The wine was great with the dinner. It had a great finish and a nice color. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I plan to buy several more bottles since they are inexpensive and great. Thanks for all the info! Barnesy - barnesy - 08-16-2000 Does anyone know what region and province the Gabbiano winery is in? This is mainly for my own records and desire to learn stuff like that. Thanks, Barnesy - Innkeeper - 02-03-2006 Piced up a bottle of plain ole Gabbiano Chianti ('04) the other day as the least worst Chianti in a local Supermarket for the proverbial $8. It was a decent midweek accompaniment for Wednesday night pasta. Nothing harsh or bothersome, nor really memorable about it. - Thomas - 02-03-2006 Barnesy, If that is Castelo di Gabbiano, they are located just south of Florence--Mercatale. They've been around since the 12th century. - barnesy - 02-04-2006 I've been waiting for that answer for six years! And finally, the mystery is solved. Barnesy - Thomas - 02-05-2006 I didn't notice the dates until you said that... Where was I six years ago? Starting a business. - barnesy - 02-06-2006 Slacker. Barnesy - Thomas - 02-07-2006 If it makes you feel better Barnesy, my business partner is on his own these days. Even a slacker can learn when it's time to get into gear [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/eek.gif[/img] |
