In 2011 Federico Cerelli joined Gabbiano (Castello di Gabbiano at the time) after 10 years of experience at prestigious Italian wineries with full responsibility for important winemaking projects, especially in Tuscany and the Chianti Classico wine regions. Federico brought his intense knowledge and passion to Gabbiano; his continuous research for quality and innovation has been a great asset for the winery. He trusts in the most traditional practices, which have become renowned in the region as being a benchmark, but also leverages modern technology that he believes allows Gabbiano to replicate the oldest methods with maximum control and precision.
