Bibbiano 2004 Riserva Vigna del Capannino Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

This Riserva boasts deep, rich concentration and its oak tones of spice, leather and toasted nut give the wine an opulent, sophisticated twist. There’s meaty density here in the form of chewy cherry and long-lasting fruit flavors that are backed by smooth tannins and solid structure.  — M.L.  (9/1/2008)

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.  — M.L.  (9/1/2008)

  • Online Exclusive
This distinctive wine opens with distant notes of volatility that recall green apple and cider, which give it a sense of lift and buoyancy. In the mouth, you’ll get cherry and chocolate and long persistency. It does a good job of cutting through butter sauces or succulent meat.  — M.L.  (6/1/2009)

Bibbiano 2007 Montornello Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)

  • Online Exclusive
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.  — M.L.  (6/1/2009)
