The vine grows well and thrives mainly on poor and infertile soils. This is a rule that applies everywhere in the world, and Tuscany and the Chianti Classico area are clearly no exception. In the case of this Castello di Bibbione, for example, the Sangiovese and Merlot vines are rooted in a pebbly soil, difficult to work but perfect for making quality. And you can tell right away by tasting the wine. We are in the municipality of San Casciano in Val di Pesa, not too far from the borders of Florence. We start with a hand harvest, in boxes, making a careful selection of the bunches. Then we proceed with a traditional vinification at controlled temperature, with about 10 days of maceration on the skins followed by 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels and at least 3 months of refinement in the bottle. The result is a wine characterized by a beautiful intense ruby red colour, with aromas of small red berries and gently spicy notes. On the other hand, in the mouth it reveals a nice red wine with character, soft and elegant tannins and a particularly persistent finish.
