Good To Know: It is known that the Bibbiano farm is one of the oldest in the Chanti Region which gives the owner a significant ethical responsibility. Wines has been produced in the area for almost two thousand years.
The monks have well taken care of the farm. It is treated as their own, and not a mere income grower.
The Bibbiano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigne di Montornello 2020 is a standout single-vineyard Sangiovese from organically farmed vines on the limestone-rich slopes of Montornello. Aged for 24 months in cement and French oak, followed by six months in bottle, it offers a deep ruby hue and an elegant bouquet of ripe red cherry, raspberry, dried flowers, and subtle spices. The palate is full-bodied yet refined, with silky tannins, bright acidity, and a lingering finish laced with balsamic, leather, and mineral notes. This Gran Selezione reflects the estate's traditional craftsmanship and expressive terroir, making it a benchmark for age-worthy and sophisticated Chianti Classico.
