BABO

TOSCANA, SICILIA ETC

Our notes:

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. Justin started with two wines: a racy Pinot Grigio sourced from Delle Venezie (Trento 45%, Fruili 45%, Veneto 10%) and a fleshy, pure Toscana Sangiovese (85% Chianti Classico zone, 15% Maremma). Now he has added two tremendously well priced Sicilian wines. All of these wines are very well made while still speaking clearly of their origins. They offer exceptional value, and are bottled under screwcap.
