Bibbiano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Capannino 2021 is a compelling organic Sangiovese Grosso from the heart of Castellina in Chianti, showing the depth and refinement that define the Gran Selezione category. Produced only in the finest vintages, it reflects Bibbiano’s long-standing commitment to quality winemaking in Tuscany, a tradition rooted at the estate since 1865.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an intense ruby-red color with violet highlights, immediately hinting at its youthful energy and concentration. The nose is precise and layered, with dark cherry and plum at the center, lifted by balsamic nuances and sweet spice notes of cinnamon and clove. On the palate, the wine is full-flavored and savory, yet wrapped in a supple elegance that keeps it beautifully balanced. The finish is long and poised, with the structure and concentration to age gracefully for several years, rewarding patient cellaring with added complexity and depth.

Production
The Vigna del Capannino vineyard sits on the hills of Castellina in Chianti, between 270 and 310 meters above sea level, with a southwest exposure that supports optimal ripening. The soils combine alberese schist, deep Pliocene clay, and limestone deposits with distinctive blue veins, creating a terroir that lends the wine strong territorial character and a clear Chianti Classico identity. Harvest takes place in early October at low yields to preserve fruit quality. Fermentation occurs in cement tanks over 33 days, with délestage used to encourage a careful, gradual extraction. The wine then matures for 24 months in a combination of cement and French and Slavonian oak casks, followed by six months of additional refinement before release.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for hearty meat dishes, game, and mature cheeses, where its savory core and elegant structure can really shine. Serve it at around 16–18°C and, ideally, decant for about an hour before drinking to allow the aromas and texture to open fully.
