Babo Chianti 2020

This was the first Chianti known to be bottled under screwcap and offered in a Burgundy-shaped bottle. Quality fruit, sourced from a southwest-facing vineyard in Vinci (near Empoli) elevates this to a status that far exceeds what you’d normally expect at this price point.

The winemaking took two paths. The first was whole-bunch fermentation with roughly 50% carbonic maceration, raised in concrete vats for six months. A second ferment was de-stemmed and matured in concrete for eight months.
