WINE SPECTATOR 90 POINTS - "A complex mix of cherry, plum, leather, iron and tobacco flavors align with a firm structure in this balanced version, which combines fruity and savory elements in an appealing way, with fine length. Best from 2023 through 2027."

Chianti Classico Bibbiano - also known as "black label" - is the result of a careful selection of grapes from all the vineyards of our estate, from both the south-west and north-east slopes.

The grape harvest for this wine generally begins in the second half of September; maceration and fermentation, in cement tanks, lasts about twenty days. A further stage of maturation is still in cement vats, followed by a further period of refining in bottles.

The color of the wine is a brilliant ruby red. It is intensely scented with a fruity note of blackberries and plums. The mouthfeel is rather intense; nonetheless this wine is easy to drink, thanks to a pleasant acidity that makes it fresh and lively.
