IMPORTANT RATINGS….

Posted: Thursday, September 29th, 2011
Cribis DUN&BRADSTREET "RATING 1"

Cribis D&B "RATING 1"

The new school year has just started, teachers, professors, lecturers will begin to give their judgments, verdicts and votes: children and adults’ obsession! The vote will pursue you the whole life; still when you will be old enough to know that “it relatively counts after all”, it will always be an angst!  An example, in the wine business all awaiting for the upcoming issue of the 2012 wine guides: good rates will be loved(primary!) , the others….“it relatively counts after all”…  But, there is a vote that always counts:  it is the Cribis Dun&Bradstreet ratification. On 2nd September  2011 Cribis Dun&Bradstreet – the world’s leading supplier of business information and insight – appointed Castello di Gabbiano “RATING 1”, the official certificate of the highest level of creditworthiness and minimum risk of failure.   To be registered as a ‘D&B RATING1’ during such economical turmoil and to join only the 10% of all Italian companies who are also in this category, is something Castello di Gabbiano can be extremely proud of!

September: to harvest or not to harvest ?

Posted: Thursday, September 8th, 2011

“To harvest or not to harvest…”  a refrain which echoes from farm to farm in the month of September.  Viticulturist would start as soon as possible in order to end his long work of the year, the winemaker would wait as long as possible to get grapes at their optimum maturity.

The sky will decide it!   August  was good, at the end of the month grapes just needed some water, still wished to enjoy some good sunny days, warm temperatures and cooler nights…: in the first days of September we had a light rain, temperatures now fall in the seasonal average, nights are cooler, weather forecasts are good. We can be confident !(and anyway we are ready for harvest)

Meanwhile we invite you  to come and meet with us to taste our wines at the 41° Expo del Vino Chianti Classico, in Greve in Chianti: Thursday 8th, Friday 9th,  Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th.  We will be there waiting for you.

August draws near inexorable…

Posted: Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

Players can change yet the scene is the same, as in a déjà vu : the winemaker and the viticulturist together leave to their vineyards inspection, to monitor  grapes on the vines. When they are back they look very satisfied: the vintage today promises to be very good!

The vines are in excellent physical and mental conditions (can avoid the psychologist’s assistance!) and show excellent foliage. The high temperatures we had beginning summer and the good water reserves we got from winter and spring rains gave an early veraison. In spite of our first strict selection of buds we still need to do cluster thinning in order to keep a reduced production and reach the optimal concentration we aim to.

…and, since any fair promise gives some anxiety of waiting… the pre-birth syndrome starts to manifest at the winery!…

Heaven permitting nature will do its work bringing the fruit to perfect ripeness, then the hand of man will have to translate this result in a fine wine,… but that’s another story! (to be continued…)

“it was born!”

countdown to the Wineclub opening

Posted: Friday, June 10th, 2011

Our WineClub is going to open in a few days!

It seems it is trendy today to be a member of a club, to have access to a private area, to be personally invited to any event…. This makes you feel…a step above!

Yet, our wineclub is not opening on this purpose.

On the contrary, we decided to found our club in order to make distances shorter between Gabbiano and all of you who will to be part of our world. As a member of our club you will be in contact with us, you will be advised of any new vintage released, will have the possibility to reserve it and get it home.

Many of our visitors asked us to keep in touch, this is our answer.

We are waiting for you, please wait for us!

Dinner and music at Castello di Gabbiano

Posted: Thursday, May 26th, 2011

Play with us to imagine a painting in the style of your favourite painter (could be of Manet, Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh, Cezanne, or De Chirico, Picasso, Dalì…): it’s an early summer night, the location is the beautiful garden of a castle, a singer and her musicians are playing, tables are laid on the grass under the stars, an inviting buffet, wine glasses, people are sitting, standing, eating, drinking or just walking on the grass, listening to music… you are part of the picture, the protagonist or an appearance…

Let’s give life to this picture, on Friday 17th June at 8:00pm, at Castello di Gabbiano: 

Ally Fox and his trio will play for us, aperitifs, dinner, wine,….all is ready!

€ 55,00 person
