"They satisfy on every level unless you are looking for a light wine or one that packs a wallop." - Kermit Lynch
The heart-thumpingly beautiful Villa Geggiano just outside of Siena has been in the Bandinelli family since 1527. The current proprietors, brothers Andrea and Alessandro Bandinelli, oversee what must be one of the world's loveliest wine properties, and they do it with the gentle touch that must be accorded a masterpiece such as this. Much of the structure that serves as their home is 300 years old, and the tapestries and furnishings magically transport one back in time. And then there are the wines: honest, authentic, and perfect examples of why Kermit insists on spending time in Italy. Balanced bright fruit, a deep leathery core, and tantalizing acidity are typified here as signature of the region. In 2008, higher elevation vineyards (350-400 metres in altitude) like this experienced cooler temperatures, producing crisp bright wines. The vineyards are southwest and east-southeast exposed, sitting on clay, limestone, and silt soil with Galestro rocks. The vines are spurred cordon trained. The temperaturecontrolled fermentation took place in stainless steel and lasted about 15 days. The wine was aged for about 18 months in 500L French oak barrels (10% new).
95% Sangiovese. 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep black cherry, violets intertwine with a spicy leathery core and vibrant acidity on the finish. 6x750ml
