With a deep, brilliant ruby hue, Bastioni 2023 opens on the nose with aromas of sour cherry compote and small red berries, followed by hints of white flowers. On the palate, it reveals complexity and savoriness, supported by a well-integrated and pleasant tannic structure. The sip is round and balanced, unfolding into a long and harmonious finish.
TASTING NOTES:
Impressive purity of fruit featuring fresh cherries and raspberries, complemented by rose hips, red spices, lavender and crushed stones. Bright and lively with medium body, firm yet lightly tight tannins and juicy acidity. The finish reveals a savory mineral note. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Chianti Classico Bastioni dei Collazzi is a joy. Bold, punchy and super-expressive, the 2023 offers tons of immediacy and sheer allure. Succulent dark cherry and plum fruit open first, followed by hints of cedar and new leather that add complexity. The aromatic, floral close is quite attractive. 2025 – 2031
