FEATURES
Bastioni combines the elegance and pleasantness of Sangiovese, with the roundness and complexity of small parts of Merlot and Malvasia Nera; a succulent wine, with ripe tannins that give it complexity and character.
A few kilometers away from the cellar, at San Casciano in Chianti Classico, the mature Sangivoese vines, along with the smaller sections of Merlot and Malvasia Nera, are combined to create “Bastioni”. The grapes are harvested by hand from 7 hectares registered in the D.O.C.G. list, with stone-rich and well-draining soils. The grapes are fermented in controlled temperature vats, and later refined for 12 months in barriques that give the wine elegance and sapidity.“Bastioni” imposes itself due to a unique personality: boquet notes of red fruit and cherry, with thick, ripe tannins that give complexity and character to this wine. The first vintage is produced in 2002.
