With a long history of wine production it is no surprise that today Bibbiani produces classic, high quality Chianti from its 25 hectares of vineyards. Bibbiani's vineyards are composed of the famous alberese and galestro soils and lie in an area known for producing ripe, soft and fruity Chianti. The estate's highest vineyard, called Pulignano, grows a high purity clone of Sangiovese and in exceptional years a single vineyard wine from this site is released. Ideal soils and an excellent climate produce wines that have excellent structure and the ability to age for many years. This wine still shows superb freshness. (12 x 75 cl)
