Vineyard and terroir
As part of a decade-long modernization plan, Villa Calcinaia redeveloped its historic vineyards and restored their terraced land. The vines were replanted along the contours rather than down the steepest slopes. The renewed vineyards lie on clay and limestone soils and are surrounded by the large umbrella pines of the Bastignano farm.
Grapes
The historic vineyards were restored vine by vine using an old Sangiovese clone.
Ageing
The wine matures for 20 months in Slavonian oak barrels and cement tanks, followed by 12 months in bottle.
Tasting profile
The wine has a fine structure.
Label / history
Vigna Bastignano originated in 2006 from grapes grown in the renewed vineyards. Its name comes from the Bastignano farm.
