Description

The Babo Chianti is smashable Sangiovese 101 at a very fair price. 

Highly-regarded Tasmanian winemaker Justin Bubb traveks to Italy to make this delicious Chianti - one of the few to be bottled under screw cap and retain all that lovely purity and freshness.

This freshness and juiciness is a result of half of the wine seeing carbonic maceration. Filled with cherry, earthiness and that classic savoury Sangiovese finish, it's a cracker wine for when you're feeling a little Italianate.

91 points - "Quite shy initially, but a vigorous swirl reveals plum and dark cherry fruit alongside flickers of rosemary, camphor, bark and black olive, lending a savoury edge. The palate is bright and clean, with dark cherry fruit at the fore, supported by notes of red rose, camphor, dried herbs and hints of tapenade. The tannins are particularly appealing — both firm and pliable — providing a nicely judged frame through a finish of solid length. A lovely expression of Chianti at a modest price point." - Tom Kline (Wine Pilot)

Customer Reviews

Fruit sourced from Vinci near Empoli. Vineyard about 12 years of age and south-west facing.

Two ferments. 100% whole bunch (carbonic maceration) and the other 100% de-stemmed fruit. 8 days on skins then pressed to cement vats for malolactic fermentation where it remains for a further 8 months prior to bottling.

Dark ruby red in colour, the palate shows dark cherry and earthy elements. Classic ‘al dente’ tannins and savoury finish. A beautiful wine, anytime of the year.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
