Sangiovese 100% fruit of many harvests over an average period of 30 to 45 days for the harvest. Fermentations are all done in small French wood, mostly tonneaux. Pressing is soft as it is done only with the feet; no press is used either.

Each small harvest carries out a separate fermentation and Filippo confides to us that this choice is a bit crazy since winemaking in small barrels is always a risk: with small masses the temperature never rises consistently and fermentations are likely to stall a bit with all that follows, on the other hand slow fermentations keep more aromas in the wine and a very interesting tannic texture is created.

Once fermentation is finished, the wine is aged for a year in the same containers, then moved after preliminary blends into concrete barrels again for a year followed by another year in the bottle!

The 2020 vintage delivers us a gentle wine, saline in the finish and less tannic than its usual character. A graceful and whispery wine, very fine but with great personality with clean red fruit flavors a good acidity. And between you and me: it is not true that whole cluster Sangiovese brings out the bitterness...far from it!

From the producer

Il Bioselvatico

We arrived at Filippo Volpi aka Il Bioselvatico farm on a sunny april morning. To get to the farm you have to go through a dirt road in the middle of old vines and as we often do when visiting producer friends, we were struck by the beauty of the place: 4.2 ha of old vines divided into 3 plots, all planted with Sangiovese and surrounded by fallow land, woods, a beautiful olive grove and a small lake, useful for water supply and refreshment for the pollinating insects present in the area.

We are in the Val di Chiana, an ancient territory made up of fertile rolling hills and in this area particularly windy. The History of Bioselvatico was born in 2018 when Filippo after various experiences in the world of catering and high quality wine took over the family business immediately taking care of the production part and the vineyard.

Today the winery is completely run in organic, with the addition of some biodynamic practices.
