Bakkanali Fiorenzo Toscana IGT 2022

The top wine from Bakkanali – A single-vineyard Sangiovese with high energy and terroir character.

Sangiovese from a small single vineyard right in front of the cellar at Poggioferro on Monte Amiata at an altitude of 600 meters, which was planted, cared for, and maintained by the previous owner, Fiorenzo.

A lively and characterful wine with notes of wild cherries, pomegranate, dried flowers, and a chalky, mineral grip.

Enjoy it slightly chilled – either now or over the next 5-7 years.

The vineyard is only 0.6 hectares and sits on iron-rich marl with chalk and carbonate – a terroir that imparts structure, acidity, and character. The vines are 20 years old and are organically farmed according to biodynamic principles.

Fermentation takes place with whole clusters and natural yeast in a semi-carbonic style over two weeks, followed by manual pressing and a few days of infusion before aging in wooden barrels.

Only 4,000 bottles produced.
