Tasting Notes: For nearly a millennia, wine has been made at Fattoria Bibbiani, located in Montalbano, Toscana on the pilgrimage trail to Rome. Producers of our most popular Chianti, Poggio Vignoso, Bibbiani also presents Treggiaia, a blend of classic Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon; a purist’s delight–taut, but friendly.
