"Bastioni marries the elegance and pleasantness of Sangiovese, with the roundness and complexity of small parts of Merlot and Malvasia Nera: succulent wine, it has ripe tannins that give it complexity and character. Bright ruby color with garnet reflections. Notes of black cherry compote in which blend a small red berries and spices. In the mouth the wine is savory, complex with a tannic structure, soft and captivating. From the long end it marries beautifully with the pleasures of the table." —winemaker
