Gagliole 2003 Pecchia Red (Colli della Toscana Centrale)
- $155
Very tense and tight is the nose: It contains precise fruit, baking spice, toasted oak and mint. Wonderfully structured on the palate, which shows bright berry flavors and grainy, grabby tannins. Finishes on the chocolaty side, with length and power. A big boy for sure.

Gagliole 2001 Red (Colli della Toscana Centrale)
- Editors' Choice
- $56
Smooth and sophisticated, with cool menthol aromas and rich oak. Dynamite flavors of cherry, raspberry and plum form a cornucopia of fruit, while toward the back chocolate and espresso rise up a take over. It’s a packed wine with high-voltage power, and just enough poise.

Gagliole 2007 Gagliole Sangiovese (Colli della Toscana Centrale)
- Online Exclusive
- $85
Here’s a rich, chocolaty Sangiovese (with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon) from central Tuscany with cheerful notes of wild berries and cherries that make for a sophisticated but cheerful wine. It boasts good intensity and power and has enough body and natural crispness to match most meat dishes.

Gagliole 2003 Rosso Red (Colli della Toscana Centrale)
- $75
Lovely flower, mineral, baked cookie and cherry aromas are lusty and inviting, and the palate is exceedingly fresh for a 2003. The fruit is snappy, legitimately healthy and tight. Finishes with chocolate and ripe tannins. Excellent stuff, and it should be at the price.

Gagliole 2006 Rubiolo Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
The wine opens with sweet aromas of bursting cherry, marzipan, cinnamon, nutmeg and a touch of licorice for extra dimension. It offers some sour cherry in the mouth with spicy tones over a lean, streamlined consistency. Made by enologist Stefano Chioccioli.

Gagliole 2007 Rubiolo Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
Rubiolo offers a unique palette of aromas, including ripe berry, spice, blackberry preserves and milk chocolate. Chewy and dense in the mouth, it would pair with lamb shanks or pork chops marinated in olive oil and rosemary.

Gagliole 1999 Pecchia Sangiovese (Colli della Toscana Centrale)
- $93
Oaky and dense, with an oily nose that loses clarity with airing. This is one of those high-flying, pricey super Tuscans that has its virtues but doesn’t sing as a package. It just doesn’t have much charm. And at 14.5% alcohol it’s tough to swallow.
