Only the finest grapes are good enough for the wines of Castello di Gabbiano. That's why this winery goes to great lengths to cultivate perfect grapes. With a heritage dating back to 1480, Cavaliere d'Oro invites you on a journey into the world of Italian wine. Located in the heart of Tuscany, Italy's Chianti region is iconic for its bold and robust Chianti and Chianti Classico wines. Cavaliere d'Oro draws on the treasures of the Chianti region, including Chianti, Chianti Classico, Chianti Classico Riserva, and the single-vineyard Chianti Classico Bellezza. These exceptional Chiantis were born in Castello di Gabbiano, the heart of Cavaliere d'Oro's heritage. During the Middle Ages, a courageous Italian knight, Il Cavaliere, dedicated himself to protecting the castle and its vineyards. His code of honor embodied Gabbiano's philosophy that the best things in life deserve the greatest dedication – estate vineyards, old world traditions and the enjoyment of robust wines.
