Pagliarese

About Pagliarese

Pagliarese is a storied Chianti Classico estate. With origins dating back to the 13th century, it was once one of the region’s most respected producers, gaining particular acclaim in the 1970s under the guidance of legendary Sangiovese specialist Giulio Gambelli. After a period of decline, the estate was acquired in the 1990s by the Poggiali family of Fèlsina, who embarked on a thoughtful and meticulous revival. Using massal selections from original vines and adhering to traditional practices—including blends of Sangiovese with Canaiolo and Mammolo—Pagliarese now produces wines that are both classically styled and vibrantly expressive. The result is a lineup of elegant Chianti Classico bottlings that honor the estate’s deep history while offering purity, balance, and exceptional character.
