The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

Perhaps the flagship wine of the Fassati winery. Fassati began producing wine in 1913 with the goal of creating a top-notch Chianti. For over a century, the winery has been making waves with wine lovers worldwide with this Le Gaggiole. Thanks in part to this beautiful Fassati wine, Chianti became a household name among wine drinkers everywhere.

Danilo and Gianni Della Camera were born in the Tuscan town of Montepulciano. Their father, Augusto, owned vineyards that he used to produce wine for friends and family. His passion for wine was so great that he continued to expand his estate with new purchases and plantings. Today, his children are at the helm of their father's 101 hectares of vineyards. The Fassati winery produces excellent wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano region, which is highly prized internationally. The blend consists of 75 percent Sangiovese, 15 percent Ciliegiolo, and 10 percent Merlot. Each grape variety offers its own unique character. These grapes are harvested with the utmost care. Only the finest juice makes it into the bottle, requiring rigorous selection. This is followed by a gentle pressing and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel vats. The wine is aged briefly in oak barrels.

The party begins the moment the wine is uncorked. Pour it into your glass. The color is dazzling. A ruby ​​red you rarely see. Then use your nose. You'll smell everything. Fruit, spices, a hint of pepper. Powerful and intense. Sublime and superior. You can hardly wait to take a sip. The flavor is unsurpassable: red fruit like sour cherry and cherries, but also cassis and berries. Take another sip; you'll taste a hint of leather and a pleasant, pleasant bitterness on the back of your tongue. Simply incredible. For this price, you don't often find such a top-notch Chianti. Trust us: Try this wine once, and it will instantly become your favorite Tuscan wine!
