I Bastioni

Chianti Classico DOCG

CLASSIFICATION
Chianti Classico DOCG
VARIETY
Sangiovese 80%, Merlot 18%, Malvasia Nera 2%
FEATURES
Bastioni marries the elegance and pleasantness of Sangiovese, with the roundness and complexity of small parts of Merlot and Malvasia Nera: succulent wine, it has ripe tannins that give it complexity and character.
A few kilometers away from the cellar, at San Casciano in Chianti Classico, our mature Sangivoese vines, along with the smaller sections of Merlot and Red Malvasia, are combined to create “Bastioni”.
All the grapes are harvested by hand from 7 hectares registered in the DOCG list with stone-rich and well-draining soils. The grapes are fermented in controlled temperature vats, and later refined for 12 months in barriques that give the wine elegance and sapidity.

“Bastioni” imposes itself for a unique personality: boquet notes of red fruit and cherry, with thick, ripe tannins that give complexity and character to this wine. The first vintage is produced in 2002.

The Villa

The majestic Villa I Collazzi stands at the heart of the estate, located on a rectangular terrace on top of a hill. The project is attributed to Santi da Tito, Michelangelo Buonarroti’s pupil. The entrance is lined with cypresses that lead to the Villa and its garden. The latter is divided in two terraces, one English-inspired and the other following the Italian-style. Inside the Villa are stunning paintings from the Renaissance period, along with a beautiful family chapel and a cellar with the oldest olive oil mill in Italy.
