A combination of a dense structure and elegance, strength, and finesse. Well balanced and harmonious to the palate, with a very pleasant taste and sweetness due to the velvety and ripe tannins. An outstanding flavor wrapped in elegant softness with aromas of sour black cherry, prune, balsamic with sweet spices, cinnamon, and cloves. Very long final persistence.

Their philosophy is based on responsibility and consistency. Responsibility for the impact their actions have on their land, for their wine-growing region and unique wines; consistency in following one’s vocation while respecting the nature of the region and family traditions. Bibbiano has been using the principles and methods of organic farming since the end of the 1980s. Only products with low environmental impact and organic fertilizers are used to allow the most natural ecosystem to exist. The estate also has a long-standing partnership with the University of Florence. Their ongoing studies have identified the best soil characteristics, exposures, altitudes and cloning of Sangiovese Grosso vines. All of these processes support the family’s philosophy to carry on with traditions while respecting the terroir with minimal disruption to the natural environment. The Marrochesi Marzi family has purposefully created a territory of authenticity, where not only the centuries-old quality standards of the grapes are respected, but only local wine-making methods of Chianti Classico are used. The family worked with legendary winemaker and Tuscan wine specialist Giulio Gambelli from 1942 to 2004. Since his passing Maurizio Castelli continues to maintain the family’s heritage. *Sold out – Expected soon More from our collection Pinot Noir 2019 Twomey Russian River Valley Pinot Noir Twomey Red Wines 2020 Tenuta di Bibbiano Chianti Classico Black Label Tenuta di Bibbiano Sold Out 2018 Timeless by Silver Oak Cellars Silver Oak Red Wines 2017 Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Silver Oak Sold Out 2018 Emily’s Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville Napa Valley Miner Family Winery Sold Out Abélard AOC Ventoux Chêne Bleu 2012 Chêne Bleu Tenuta di Bibbiano Bibbiano is owned by the Marrochesi Marzi brothers, Tommaso and Federico, and is one of the oldest estates in Chianti Classico belonging to the same family.
