Bibbiano 2006 Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
Executed in a traditional style, this vibrant wine exhibits clean and enduring notes of cherry, lavender, white mushroom, cola and eucalyptus leaf. From a 52-acre vineyard in Castellina in Chianti, it has a fresh, fruity feel with some bitter cherry on the close.

Bibbiano 2007 Montornello Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
There’s an interesting mineral element here that pops straight through the wine’s deep concentration and natural richness. Beyond that distinctive note of talc powder is fresh berry and blackberry. The wine’s drying finish and satin texture add to its overall appeal.
