Babo Chianti 2015

Description

Babo wines are made by Australian Justin Bubb (an honorary Italian having spent the last six years making wine in Italy) with the idea of utilising the best fruit possible to produce wines of elegance and purity with a focus on vibrancy of fruit, texture and balanced complexity. All the wines are made at a small wine making facility in Empoli.
All of these wines are very well made while still speaking clearly of their origins. They offer exceptional value, and are bottled under screwcap. The BABO philosophy is simple. Source the finest regional fruit from Italy, to produce wines of elegance and purity with a focus on vibrancy, texture and balanced complexity. This is Justin’s Italian take on Cru Beaujolais.

This DOCG Chianti sings…its the first chianti bottled under screwcap and also in a burgundy bottle This 2015 is pure fruited, it’s as juicy, aromatic and delicious sangiovese as you will taste !
Red & blue fruits (thanks to 30% whole bunch and carbonic maceration) lifted aromatic cherry and blueberry immediately then the palate shows juicy cherry and darker fruits. Cherry pip also and light of weight and effortless through the mouth. Acidity is fine and unobtrusive perfectly pitched with a lick of fine ‘al dente’ tannin complementing. Medium weight chiantis don’t get much better. Viva italia  !
